I have been out of the loop for a bit, but I think but was he from
Dallas?  I believe that NPR did a piece on him this morning.

Thanks Maria for taking the inititive to head this up. If the rest of
you are on any other lists, then you know that with Friedrich's death in
Bryn Gwlad there is a ground swell of support for this idea growing
across all of Ansteorra. What you may not know is the cost of postage.
The figure that is being bounced around is $70 to send 1 package. I
haven't seen size or weight on that.  So Maria will *also* need
donations of postage money. I can't see making her pay this out of her
own pocket.

Maria, will you be going onto the AnySoldier site to pick a unit to
support? Also, on the Bryn Gwlad list there has been a lot of chatter
about how hard it is for them to keep their clothes clean and they are
looking for donations of "hand-cranked" washers or money to purchase
them. Now it just so happens that I have a new, never-been-used,
hand-cranked "pressure" washer (don't ask why) that I would be willing
to donate. The box is gone but the instructions are still inside the
barrell.

I will also put $10 towards postage. Populace is way on August 9th. You
might consider other ways to get the donations to you. Remember, once
gathered it takes a month or more to get the packages to the soldiers
over there anyway. Annes Dear God,  Help me to be the person my dog
thinks I am.  Amen

is challanging the rest of Ansteorra to send donations to the men and
women who are overseas in the armed forces.  I would like to volunteer
to collect and send the donations.  I will collect them at populace
meetings.  I am going to ask Caitlin to put a note in the OTE.
