If you don't like supporting or hearing about supporting dinosaur 
science, delete this message!

WE are almost there!

Thank you to those of you that have donated to the DML fund to research 
the basal Hadrosaur "Antonio".  If you have sent funds to me, your 
initials should be on the list below, if not, contact me at 
frank@blissnet.com to let me know.  I am sure the rest of the funds 
will come in as more of you on the list realize that this way, you can 
make a contribution to important research in dinosaur science, without 
getting your fingernails dirty.  We currently have about $845 US 
dollars in the fund out of the needed $1000 US dollars.  Bear in mind 
that you ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO DONATE TO THIS FUND.   You can send 
any donations you wish to contribute to me at Frank Bliss, 1107 Parks 
Rd. Weston, Wyoming 82731 and make the check out to me.  If this is a 
successful campaign, we could make contributions yearly and vote for 
the funds use on list.  Fund raising will stop next monday so if it is 
not in the mail by monday night, don't send it.  With mail as it is on 
the Montana/Wyoming border, I will have all the funds sent by monday on 
ranch by friday mail drop and I will then proceed to get them to Fabio 
for his use.  I suspect that that will take a week or so ,(drive the 45 
miles to the bank, let checks clear, do the transfer) and Fabio will 
have his grant to study "Antonio".

This is probably the first time an internet mailing list has ever done 
more than talk about research and actually gotten down to the serious 
business of funding research.  Those of you that have donated have been 
instrumental in this science.  You are also inline (as I understand 
from Fabio) for a pdf copy of the paper as soon as it is done.   The 
DML will get recognition in the paper for the contribution and I will 
get all of the donors name and addresses (for those that supplied them 
on the envelopes to me) to Fabio so he has them for what ever purpose 
he wishes.  Contact me if you do not want Fabio to have your name and 
address.

Below is an accounting of the donations to date as of June 17th, 2005.
