First of all I am not looking for sympathy, really I am not. This is a great group of folks
on this site and in this hobby in general. I am a big boy, and I knew the rules when I came
into this game we call life. I would not do anything differently.

No guarantee that I was going to never have sorrow or tragedy as my days went along.

Well it is my turn to get a taste of the worst part of life. In September I lost my little girl
to drug abuse. Pretty bad, actually really bad as I think about it. Now I am facing the
loss of my wife as she struggles with a vey aggressive cancer.

Everyone cheered up at this point? If I don't find the the humor in life then I will not make
it, so forgive me if I sound glib. I have a five year old little girl to raise now, not to mention my
handicapped daughter so I can't afford to get down or feel sorry for myself.

I have responsibilities and I need to get my ass in gear and create a good life for those who
are the weakest among us.

Funeral expenses set us back. The loss of my wifes income as well as the health insurance her
job provided for our family have hurt as well. Now it is time to make some moves I had not
anticipated.
I have (for the most part ) every Hard Rock Chip, most in duplicates or more including 105 of
the 2001 April Fools chip (my favorite). All the $100's $25's NCV's etc. Both sets of the derby chips
and even 3 of the $500 chips issued. ( sorry to say I have no $1000 chips).

Over 590 chips with cage value of aprox $6900 value.

If interested please let me know. Selling this collection is painful, but I am learning to deal well
with pain these days.

Life is tough, I know it and you know it. Please don't feel sorry for myself or my situation I know you all
care, as I said you are a great group. We are all in this together and we all have our own pain in different
degrees.

Thanks for you time
