Re: Antonio's grant

OK, time to fund some research. I think to get this going, we just need to get this going. I will collect the funds and make it happen one way or the other. The debate about HOW we will send it to Fabio will have to be decided later when we get enough in the pot to send it to him.
Toward that end....

My name is Franklin E. Bliss
My address is 1107 Parks Rd.  Weston, Wyoming 82731.

For those of you in the US, send a Check or money order written to me as I don't happen to have a non profit org to run the checks through but I will open a separate bank account in Broadus Montana for record keeping purposes. (I probably will have a tax issue which I will cover on my own.) I will make a spread sheet of the funds as they arrive Please note on the check what it is for (donation for grant to study "Antonio"). If everyone on the list gives a few buck, we will make Fabios day and contribute effectively to research. Those that are fighting to get money to do your own research also, need not donate. Our goal is 1000 US dollars. There is not a limit on what to contribute as excess moneys will be given to the next deserving researcher that pops up down the road. I will post an accounting when the deal is done.

If this turns out to be a good thing, perhaps we can do it yearly.

Unless someone else has a better idea, lets just go ahead and get this done.

I consider a big responsability the economical support offered by some
members of the DML (Allan, David, Don, Frank, Louise, Jim, Mike, Patti,
Rik, Tommy), and I thank them for the offering. What can I offer in
exchange?

I maybe alone in this (and hopefully I'm not), but, your thanks coupled with
the knowledge that I am assisting in the study of an extinct lifeform is all
the reward I need.
And having the species named after me wouldn't hurt either. JOKE! :-)
