Some folks have inquired as to what the money will be used for. Bob has designated a couple of charitable organizations and ALL of the money raised will be sent by Greg Susong (the 'money point man' in this) directly to these charities in Bob's name.

I received a short email from Bob the other day and he thanked his friends on Chipboard.com for their thoughts and prayers.

*************
If you are not interested in bidding... you can STILL participate by sending a check to Greg Susong / PO Box 654 / Wellington, Kansas 67152. It will ALL be forwarded (in Bob's name) to the charities which Bob has selected.

Thanks to Greg for these updates on Bob.
