Status: offline 		Guys, please don't take this the wrong way:


I have come to know and respect Bill over the internet for the last several years. I think loss of his house and cat and hobby is a tragic thing, and now is the time for all good men to come to his aid, BUT:

Contributing to a relief fund via internet stranger (to me) ain't the way to go!

I have enough trouble doing regular business with PayPal, what with all the phishers and con artists that swarm around the system.

Can't someone close to him geographically set up an account at a reputable bank, with Bill's name officially attached to it? Attach pictures and newspaper accounts and at least a message from Bill himself. Then, a lot of us will feel more comfortable making sizeable donations.

Respectfully,

mt

You have a valid point. Is there someone near Bill to set this up? No disrespect to Flyboy Dave, but there should be a more formal way to contribute. Sorry FBD.

Jim

Status: offline 		I think Flyboy Dave is a fairly well known & liked individual on this forum. I have no issues with his administering the relief monies, especially since this was done on the fly, and FBD stepped up to the plate.

FBD is fine by me.

Status: offline 		This has been bothering me and this is how I feel. I want to help Bill. Part of what is wrong with todays society is a lack of trust in our fellow man. We live our lives being suspicious of everything and everybody. We must have trust in the character of our fellow man. FBD, I apologize is I was offensive. You would have far more to loose than I. My contributions on the way.

Jim

....banks don't take Pay-pal. Bill can't take Pay-Pal right now because he doesn't have
a computer. Bill is my friend...I trust him, and he trusts me. I have been a Moderator
here on RCU for 5 years now. I don't take anything that doesn't belong to me. If someone
gives me 10 cents too much change at the store....I give it back....I don't want it, it's not mine.

I'm doing this and taking on the responcibility because no one else was stepping up to the plate.
Right now I have $395.00 from only 10 contributers....they trused me. If something better comes
along fine....right now this is the only game in town. Look at my gallery of planes....does it look
like I need anything to you ?

Go here and read my feed back comments:

FBD.

P.S. Thanks 'Race.....

Status: offline 		Hey, guys, I live in the next little town over from Bill and I talked to him yesterday. He told me he is doing fine and doesn't need anything. He said he appreciates your thoughts and prayers. He has some RC equipment and one of the guys who is retired from an IT position gave him a couple of computers. However, he still isn't up on the internet or e-mail yet.

Bobby Franks, who gave him the computers, sees him regularly and is also building a twin for him. If you want really up to date information, his e-mail is bjfranks@cox.net.

Status: offline 		ED....I talked to Bill today....

....He has no transmitters....he has two recievers, no servos. He has one plane in a box, and
another plane at a friends and two fuselages.

He has no engines that I know of....in addition, he lost his gun collection....lots of nice rifles and
stuff. Bill is the kind of a guy that would do anyhting to help people....even people he doesn't know
he would go out of his way to help. He is a kind and honest man as well.

But, he's also the kind of a guy....even down and out.... you ask him if he needs anything, he
would say....No, I'm alright. That's bill's nature....he doesn't like to put anyone else out....

....but he would likely give you the shirt off his back.

This is the only way we know how to help a friend.

FBD.
