Lets get this straitened out right here and now. Let's go from the =
start. Park Forest fell, I rushed up there after being home from South =
Africa for 24 hours! Anyone who has ever been on a meteorite fall chase =
knows that it is chaos, and Park Forest, due to it's location in the =
center of the country, made all other chases look tame. Immediately =
someone volanteered me without my consent, to start taking money to buy =
Art a birthday piece. I was quite upset do to the fact that this is my =
job, my livelyhood, and it really got confusing with people sending me =
$.50 cent paypals among the hundreds of daily emails.=20
    I decided to do it since it was already done. I have since traveled =
to Africa and South America several times as well as back and forth to =
Park Forest several times. I have tried to contact Art, with no =
response, either he is not there, or not getting my emails? Spam =
program?=20
    If any of you think that I am trying to steal the small amount of =
money that I was sent, please say so now, that way I know who never to =
speak to again.=20
I was not at all being rude, I was being very to the point, no long =
winded speaches that so many complain about but seem to want, ie the =
long email now to get my point across.=20
    Art can decide what to email the list, photos etc.=20
Any other questions?=20

  Dear List,
  After reading the messages that are stated below I felt compelled to =
respond myself. It is not my intentions to step on anyone's feelings =
but I felt I needed to say something about this subject, because I =
threw in monies to go for this gift as well. I did this because of the =
fact that I think it is cool that this site is up and running and its a =
small way of saying thanks to Art for all he has done. Now, I too =
question and wonder why we haven't heard of what has come of the monies =
and the gift. Did he like it? Half the fun of pitching in on a gift =
for someone is seeing their reaction. When I read the messages posted =
below, I got the feeling that were being told we are rude for even =
asking. I am sure this was not Mike's intentions but it felt the same =
to me. I am hoping we hear something soon.

                Sincerely,
                         Rex

      Hi Mike,
             When do we get to see Art's Birthday present for
      which we all sent you money? Have you sent it to him
      already? Whazzup.

             Best wishes, Michael



  Hello List and Mike Farmer,

  I noticed Michael Blood asked about Art's birthday present and as one =
of=20
  the people that sent you money and suggested to other list members =
that i
  t would be a nice thing to do, I thought I would also ask, Did Art get =
hi

well.

  Mark Bostick
