    Another donation today puts us at $300!!! Great job everyone and keep 'em coming. I will see Chris' wife next week and present her with what I have up to that point. Then we'll have more from the Baker's Show raffles and auctions.

    I'm with you JV. I was Really hoping we could get some Major $$ to help with Chris Med bills. I have been posting info over on VCVC, but seems like nobody remembers Chris.
    I keep saying A little from Alot adds up to $$$$.  And yes Most of us are nowhere close to rich. But it All Helps

    Good to hear it's moving in the right direction...My grandson's name starts with G and I call him little G-Man. This way I feel like Chris' presence is still around!  Very Happy

    Guys don't jump the gun and freak out too early about donations, Baker's hasn't happened yet. I will be doing my part at Baker's, not contributing thru the site. I'm sure others will as well.

    Tim, Not sure what point your trying to get across? I know Chris was your Friend & you miss Him, like we all do ,just trying to keep G-man memory alive & try to help out his Family. I don't think most of the 2700++ people here or at VCVC will be at Bakers(sure they would if they could) Those are the people I'm trying to get to Donate.

    Miss you Chris

    I have a few more donations and a couple more (hopefully) in the works. I will post a total by the end of the week. I am hoping to meet with Teresa, Chris' wife, this weekend to present her with the donations and to go over everything Chris had going for the Baker's show. And Tim, I look forward to seeing you and many others at Baker's. I KNOW we will have another nice donation for the family as a result of the Baker's show between our raffle, 50/50, auctions, dash plaques, and (also hopefully) a donation from Baker's. Thanks everyone for their efforts, donations, and well wishes to Chris' family. Billski

    With the latest donations from DT and BC our total is up to $559 and I am expecting $100 from yet another donation. If/when that comes through we'll be at $659.00! I am very excited about all of the donations. I am meeting with Teresa, Chris' widow, tomorrow and will present her with the $559 in cash and checks. Thanks everyone and keep those donations coming.

    Donated.

    He was a generous guy. He put a lot of time into all of those awards for Baker's, including those with the van emblems.

    I would like to go ahead and up the G-man fund ante with a proposal. If someone on here buys my new Econoline lowering kit before the Baker's show I will donate $50 towards the G-man fund. The kit goes for $220 shipped. I would also donate $25 if someone buys a set of my Econoline front door seals before Baker's. They sell for $120 shipped. Buy the parts you need and help support a very worthy cause.

    I met with Teresa yesterday and gave her a sympathy card with cash and checks for a total of $600. I signed it from "Your friends at Vintage-Vans.com and VCVC.org". She didn't open it while I was there but I'm sure she was pleasantly surprised when she did open it. I am still waiting for the $100 donation to come in and any others that may still be in the works. Thanks again everyone for any donations past, and yet to come. Billski

    Good to hear Bill, I hope it will help her out.
    I keep posting over on VCVC,but don't think I'm getting anywhere with them. Seems like they forgot Chris already. I though some of them would have met him (how could you forget Chris Big smily & Laugh)at all the Nats he went to over the years??  I'm sure some of them have donated , nobody is posting anything  about it over there Sad

    As I had mentioned a while back I was going to have 100 memorial dash plaques done up. I'll be getting them this weekend at Vanfest. These will be a donation,nothing held back for cost. All the money going towards the donation to G-Man's family. The dash plaque will be metal with this image on it. They will cost $4 u.s. If there are any leftover we'll arrange with someone to mail some out with the additional postage charge. At this point I'm not sure if I can make Bakers but I will be seeing a number of vanners this weekend who will be there and I'll send them with them to be on the safe side.
