Gulf Coast Assistance

Oh fixed one...nee Codger,
Is that the knife you used to cut yourself free from your massive, industrial sized compressor the time you and Mike Nelson were in your pool?... :eek:

If not, sorry..... :D

Does the $50 donation I gave earlier without prior knowledge of this giveaway count? I have my receipt and everything! :D

*Note to self: Evidently being nice can pay off...*
 
118 views and only a few pledges - not enought to take all the knives offered even!!

COME ON Blade Forum people
 
Madcap

I believe that it is up to the others as to the acceptance or not of donations made prior to the start of this thread.

In either case, you are to be commended.

Thirty bucks for an Uncle Henry.

Codger, nice move. Mike Nelson would be proud.

Upstream, you da man! You just bid $100 on 8OT #1. Bidding ends Wednesday. We now have bids thus:

897UH Premium Signature Stockman

#1 $40 Muskrat_Man
#2 $50 Lobo the Folder
#3 $30 Textoothpick

8OT Senior Stockman

#1 $100 Upstream
#2 $20 Fixer27
#3

I guess you would call this a Dutch donation of sorts. The top three bidders on each pattern win. Remember, the donation for the first six knives closing Wednesday evening at 11:00 PM EST. Then the WR1 Gift set and any other Schrades donated before Wednesday go up for bids. Remember also that WE here at Bladeforums Schrade Collectors Forum do not receive the money. Not only that, but we are paying the shipping on these knives to you. Just hold your donation til the bidding close, then you decide which of the two non-governmental relief organizations to send it to.

Come on folks! Do you know how many diapers and how much formula it takes to care for ONE newborn for ONE week? Yeah, I'll be a "Carnival Barker" for this cause! And I'll come up with a commemorative certificate of origin to send along with the knives if that is what it takes to get pledges!

How about a SERIOUS pledge Madcap Magician? Another $50 to bid on an 8OT? The donation I have already sent does not count here either. I'll be sending more. Our first bidder is a 15 year old boy, Muskrat_Man. He stepped up to the plate with everything in his pocket and earned my respect and support in his pledge.

Codger "Oh Fixed One" :D
 
Hi Del I sent you an email via PP. Good job . By the way Del is to modest to tell of some of the other contributions he has made to this effort. It is time Del got his forum handle in honor of my Cherokee blood and his being our neighbor to the north I dubb thee BIG HEART. Offered with admiration. Do not send me any knives. LT
 
Del: I got your private email a couple of minutes ago and came to the forum. You are a neat guy!. You have my absolute pledge of $100 to the Salvation Army which will be made at the Kerrville, Texas S/A Shelter Tuesday 9/6/05 and earmarked for the Katrina recovery effort. If this small contribution happens to qualify I'd prefer the UH. ( the stag looking scales). Thanks for your generosity.

Muskie, you are learning what it means to be a member of the Schrade Knives Collectors Forum.

Fifteen I have socks much older than that. So is the whiskey I drink. No one is 15. I was never fifteen I guess it is not a sin or crime or any thing but could you speed it up a little to get a little bit older. I guess one day at a time will have to do.

If someone beats this young mans bid don't worry about it I will make good on another knife. I might even give him a little bigger choice if he wants it. Just send money lets Keep Big Heart busy. LT
 
I belong to a Tennessee deer hunting forum. In addition to half of our state wildlife officers heading down there to perform search and rescue (and sadly, recovery of bodies), forum members and their wives have gone as part of medical triage teams and shelter programs. Here is a report from one member in touch with his wife in Longbeach Missisippi (what is left of it):

posted by Marshal Dillon 09-04-2005 10:22 AM

"While cooking this morning at the new relief site in LongBeach , Mississippi, several of the relief people complained about the terrible odor coming from the gulf/beach area. Ms Kitty (Marshal's wife) said it smelled like something dead. She was right, over 30 filled body bags were laid out getting ripe in the Sept sun. Those bodies were less than 200 yards from thier location. The National Guard Sargent assigned to the area told them not to go past the row of trees, one older woman asked why and the trooper told them of the dead bodies.

Kitty also said they were told to prepare for 15,000 people today. They'll be served through a feeding line with each person getting served up hot food.This morning they served about 4300 breakfast meals, to the locals displaced by Katrina.Some said this was thier first food at all and others said it was thier first hot food since the storm."

I asked Marshal Dillon for an address so I could send some funds directly to that shelter. I also posted a link to this auction on TnDeer. God help us in this effort. People are still dying every hour.

Codger,

Reading that sent chills up and down my spine. Imagine the effect this will have upon the children there, not to mention everyone else.
Throughout North America there a numerous construction camps that are probably in storage. It wouldn't take too much to mobilize these and provide housing, meals and such for hundreds, if not thousands.
 
I've got another $30 for the Red Cross, I'd rather give it to the Salvation Army though, where is their online donation link... uh... ah, found it. There we go.

That's about all I can afford though... :-(

My school is sending down teams, but I wish that they'd let us go earlier than Thanksgiving Break.
