You folks are the best!!!! [:Y:] [clap] [clap] [clap] [clap] [clap]

Our friends Mitch and Don summed it up so nicely that I won't even try.

Any donation of any amount is greatly appreciated so please feel very free to contribute at any level that you wish.

We are working on where to send the donations and I will let everyone know once we have a good solution for all.

Thanks again folks.

I'm in, but I'd rather not post an amount publicly. If anyone else has been thinking about contributing but is uncomfortable with the public posting of amounts, I'd encourage you to do it this way as well.

Let's help Michael.

Hesh, I'd be proud to help Michael with 25 bucks. I get paid on the 15th. How do we donate, PayPal? If so may we send it directly to Big Mike or to you?

I had not seen this thread till just now I was not on much yesterday afternoon and none last night. I do not know what to say. i muat say I have second thoughts about this. But I am honored to and appreciative. It has never been my MO to take charity but rather to give where I can. I am flabbergasted. I really am. We have paid the deductable from my wife’s savings and I have been buying replacements from my lutherie account to get going again. Insurance will cover the majority of the loss.

What do I say to you guys???
This is truly unbelievable
I will find a way to repay you guys, one way or another

Michael

Michael there is nothing to say because you have already paid this gesture and much more forward by all of your help and contributions to date. I like this Mitch guy :D we think alike..... :D (poor Mitch.... :D )

So just consider this a small token of our appreciation.

To all who have contributed and to all who may not be able to contribute but still would have liked to help our pal you folks are incredible!!! What an honor it is to participate here on the OLF with ya! [:Y:] [clap] [clap] [clap] [clap] [clap] Maybe we need an emoticon that takes his/her hat off? :D

Payment info will be posted in this thread as soon as we get the details worked out.

And it's never to late to chip in and help make this a resounding success.
