I spoke to Brian (brother in Law) via FB he told me Wayne did not have life ins. Said the premiums were to high due to his Job. Wayne left a wife. Cathy is a fine person and I am sure needs the help. I hope the AR Family gets behind this effort. My check goes out today.

Jeff,

Thanks a lot.

Of course Safari Classics will be making a contribution to this important fund, but I am contacting the SOMETHING MORE group to see what they can do to assist. I will be giving updates on my effort there. Wayne was a very fine man, and his memory deserves our best effort to help his wife during these dark days.

To all, we have been working behind the scenes a bit to get this started off right. Dave Fulson and I did talk a little ago and he had mentioned posting to this topic so I thought I would share some things with you. Not announced yet but Paul Reed and I will be involved more heavily in Something More Safaris near term and we are re-energizing the PH Relief Fund that I had mentioned after Owain and Anthony Howland. I have been in contact with Anthony to let him know something would happen as well as Buzz and I have been talking recently. In short, we intend to establish a working fund that will have a working board of trustees if you will and I intend to include someone like Buzz, John Greeff, Frik Muller, etc. on the board so as to really understand both the need and value to fund as each incident occurs. This can be a rotating role but I for one feel more confident if we have one of those guys "on the ground" involved with us. Not only does it add credibility but it also connects us more closely with the guys we are trying to support. We are now working on some new banking strategies that will make it both easier to raise funds and to distribute but in the meantime, the Something More Safaris website has all the information if you want to make a donation. I do not want to tread on Marks effort and apoligize if I appear to do so but if you do want your donation to be tax deductible (ala Larry Shores point) the SMS approach will allow that to happen. If you note that it is to Wayne or either to Anthony we will make sure that 100% goes directly to them. Nothing and I mean nothing will go or be distributed anywhere else and as Mark is a link to them I can keep him in the loop.

Incidently, John Greeff who we helped on our first venture and Wayne are cousins and John and I had a long talk yesterday about him. It is truely sad and Wayne could not have had a more reliable guy with him than Cliff, it was just not meant to be.

Sorry we are just a little slow getting our web efforts in line and a fundraising attempt going but Paul and I are both working again post retirement so I hope you all understand. We are also working on a TV commericial and a video streaming for the website to tell you more what SMS is all about. If you do make a donation to either through SMS please email me at larry_burgin@yahoo.com and I will then make sure it goes where you intended it to. In the meantime, we should all hope that this year ends safely.

Paul, Dave, please feel free to add to my comments if you wish.

Larry

Larry, Dave, Paul, Mark, Butch, Jeff and everyone else organizing/assisting with these efforts, I salute you.

Sincerely, David
