Guys,tkn is doing a fundraiser for Shane's family.I know there are folks here who would like to do the same.Dave Larson comes to mind,that man knows how to get things done.no contribution will be to small.could have been any of us.hope no one gets offended,don't write to well.
 
Thanks,Tom,Dan Graves is getting his address out to us on TKN.I'm sure some one here that's well known will step up.if they don't,I'll do it.
 
email me address where funds need to go.

I have his home address but one lump check would be nice if we could...........whats the plan?
 
If everyone wants to send donations to just one person and then send a lump sum, please post an address to send it to, I would like to donate.

Its just my opinion but the family will get more good from a money donation then flowers, close friends and family will take care of the flowers usually anyway.

The above listed thread was intended to consolidate for a very small amount of money for flowers as a token of Shane's importance to the knifemaking community, and the vast majority for cash to help the family. There is a land address listed on the link I posted. People should read the post. Each should surely do as they wish. Donations have been ongoing today, so I feel reasonably certain one could be sure their money would be going to the family at this point.
 
I just sent an e-mail to Dan,should hear from him soon.I told him if it was too much for one man to handle,I would do it for blade forums.should hear from him soon.any objections,let 'er rip.we need to get started.
 
Sent what I could to Dan........do what you can because alot isnt the answer. As a whole we all make differences.
 
Jim,I thank you for your generosity.I'm doing the cash donation thing because I really don't know how to do an auction.I'm sure someone with the experience will come forward.again,thanks for caring
 
Thought I would post this. For those that dont know, we lost a fine man, Shane Ivie. I am setting up a fund for the family as he had 5 kids and a wife who will need some help at this time. All the money will be sent to Kathy Ivie in the form of a postal money order. My paypal account is same as my e-mail. dangraves4923@earthlink.net For those who want to mail it my address is 4887 Dixie Garden Loop, Shreveport, La 71105 I plan on sending a postal money order and flowers or a small plant. Will not spend much on flowers as I think the kids need it more. Any amount will help and all that send a donation will be listed on the card. Lets show the family what the knifemaker community thought of him. May he rest in peace as he will be missed here.
 
tradgedy befalls the best of us, life is not something to throw away carelessly, i did not know the man but from what little peices i can put together he did not waste life. it is always hard to hear of the loss of someone, and my heart and thoughts go out to those affected most by the passing of a man who was carred for by so many. my deepest sympathies.
