Hey Guys,
     I have had a few requests about the fund.  Finally, after going through my mountains of mail, a broken natural gas line, (at the house) and yes, a new AC unit, I have finally put it all together and Linda and I are finally sleeping in our own bed, in the house. 
     We did really great and came out better than I had expected.  Yes, there where some people that added a bit extra, and that made all the difference in the world.  The BOTTOM LINE is that we now have $2,146.61 in the checking account.  Below is a break down of the money "in and out."

Income: 
- Sale of goods from Jim "Nelly"
  Nelson                                                                 $596
-Late payment for dinners                                    $280
-Auction                                                                 $130
-Raffle                                                                   $231
-Refund from Herford House                              $500
 Hospitality Room                                                $194

Expenses:  Hyatt, Dinner, sound system, cakes, misc.       $4,589.04
                 Hospitality Room, beer, wine, snacks                    $271.21

Money in the checking account before reunion                     $381.65

Money in the checking account after all is said and done   $2,146.61

     If needed I can do a further break down, but this is a good start and accounts for the money.  I'm only sending this to you two, but feel free to publish this if you like.  We had a good time and the fund is now stronger and feel that we can move ahead in the future, and get ready for the upcoming years of fun and friendship.
                                                           Thanks guys,
