So sad to hear this news. Let's make this a great memorial to him. Sorry, that financially I cannot afford to participate in this bidding.

The original post has been edited to add: For anyone who does not win the auction but still wants to participate in honoring Snowdog's memory, I would be more than tickled to facilitate the combining of individual contributions in Snowdog's name - as long as the sender doesn't have any strong preferences about where I end up sending it to. For instance, if they object to the possibility of money being sent to the wolf project then it would be better for them to do their own donation directly to ensure it reaches their choice of charity. The other thing I would ask is to send it to me via Paypal "friends and family gift" feature so it doesn't get knocked down by fees. My PayPal addy:  |

Auction closed! Thanks beefjello! Since this is a charity benefit auction if I could ask you to send the money to me as "friends and family" so Paypal doesn't take a chunk out of it?  |
