Here is how to donate to the <span style='color:green'>Slides for John Rupp fund</span>. I have arranged it with Bill P at Concept2 so that all we have to do is send him a check and when he has enough to cover the cost the slides will be sent. John you should let Bill know your address.<br /><br />Make checks payable to Concept2.<br /><br />Send them to:<br /><br />Bill Patton<br />attn: John Rupp fund<br /><br />Concept2<br />105 Industrial Park Drive<br />Morrisville VT 05661<br /><br />Frank

Frank,<br /><br />What about non-US residents? Can I send a check drawn from a Canadian bank?<br />Could we also use a credit card?<br /><br />Thanks

They will not take credit cards since their system will not handle it as we are all purchasing part of the same item. <br /><br />Frank

I don't get it. Why are you doing this for John? It seems that there are so many better things to do with your money than buy a set of slides for some one who doesn't need them or want them unless they are given to him.<br /><br /><br />By the way, I don't need an Empacher Racing Single. (heavyweight please)

If anyone in the UK wants to join in I'll be happy to take your UK cheque and translate it into a US check. Message me for details.<br /><br />Cheers, Paul

Is it just my imagination, or can I hear John giggling uncontrollably in the background?<br /><br />And John, since I apologized to you and you apologized to Frank and Yvette and we are all buddy-buddy now, could I borrow your slides for a few months? I would even do you a favour and arrange to have them shipped direct to my house from C2.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Mark

More like a "crazy old uncle", that when presented with something new, will provide a near endless source of entertainment for years to come. <br /><br />And in the end, if he simply decides not to use the Slides, he could act benevolently and pass them on to the next person who would like to give them a try, and so on and so on.....<br /><br />Cheers.
