Wow, so much for the thing appearing "at the end of the year." But thanks muchly, Gils, accolades always appreciated.

Now the question is: what do I do with my check? I always planned on donating the money to a charity in Bodge's name or to Kent (if he was still in need) but now I need to make a call on that. Any ideas on what to do with the money?

Mike

Mike,

Send the money to the American Cancer Society. They use donations for all manner of things, research, but also support for families and patients who are ill. They are a bastion of strength for anyone going through the hell which is this disease. You can donate in Bodge's name and have a card sent to Kent if you wish. I received a few cards from co-workers who donated when I lost my friend in March this year.

I also donated in her name. Their website is very easy to find.

If you want more info, let me know.

Aimes

Nice article, kudos!

I think the best thing you could do would be to donate directly to a hospital pediatric oncology ward, or children's cancer group. Bodge so loved children. You have to be very careful of donating to the big guys - only 1 percent of what they make actually has to go the the "cause".

I heard there was also a couple of funds going to build her a memorial. There is one being built at her beloved spot in Wisconsin, somewhere. There was a post backstage at KRF maybe someone will remember it, and post it here.
