As you know, forum member Jerry Peasley passed away this week.
Stevomiller has generously offered a 15" Sirupati for raffle. It is in the tooled scabbord, which sounds as if it might be pre illness Bura and an older blade. Ferrous has offered to make a bunch of marks on it...etching, yeah; he called it etching. Those of you who seen photos or are lucky enough to have a sample know how good he is.
IF no one with paypal steps forward, I'll accept the checks and send the money. Five bucks a ticket. I guess this isn't too difficult- I get some tickets, write your names on them, throw them into a hat and pull out Bruce's name? People who have done this before might be of some help.
I'm putting in 40.00 and am not participating in the raffle.
I have some concern about overseas checks- I wrote one once for a person in Great Britain and the bank wanted to charge her more than the check to cash it. It's not like I bank with Siberia.
Bill can probably tell me if there are any problems with that.
I haven't checked with Bill-so this needs his OK, but other raffles have happened before so I figure it'll be OK.
This thing needs to be done. Mrs Jerry Peasley needs some help.
thank you,
munk
