I think you will all be in agreement with this item. I don't mean to exclude anyone from the process, but there hasn't been a whole lot of suggestions yet, he's a tough one to buy for or surprise and we are doing the bulk of this thing in a more or less public thread. As soon as I get it locked down, I'll post it for your approval. We can still use more contributions if they are out there. This item will require additional funds to what we have collected so far, but I believe it is well worth it!!
Believe it or not, but I've never taken on this kind of responsibility before. I always had, Jerome to run and administer these kind of things and honestly, I'm kind of nervous that you will all approve of my efforts in the end. I'm trying to do the best I can here, but I hope you will all bear with me and cut me some slack!!! Feel free to chime in with any suggestions on how best to do this and so forth. I know when I can use help and assistance and I welcome it here!!!
