Done.

Had it not been for this guy's contribution to the forum (and help through emails and pm's)i'd be a lot less wiser than i am now.
no matter what it totals out to, he sure does deserve every penny.

i will send some your way at the end of the week or so i know what its like to be a victim of crime and it sucks especialy if they take every thing you have.
i would be glad to give what little i can.

Joel

Gotta help a fellow Texan out.

I'd be happy to donate $25.00

Very sorry to hear this happened to you Michael. I'm sure some things can never be replaced with any amount of money, but hopefully we can get you back on your feet as far as the tools go.

Best of luck

I'm in but I would like first crack at the culprits if they catch them. Could someone post an address for Michael. I'm an old fashion guy. I hope this helps you as much as you have helped us. Have Fun! Danny

Thanks folks!

Please Paypal your donations to: michael.payne at weatherford.com

Diane and I are overwhelmed with gratitude and astonishment for everyone’s contributions. I have no way to express the heart felt emotions this gesture has induced. I am completely lost for words. That is something I can’t say happens very often. I am so glad I do not have a live webcam right now. I can barley see through the fog. You guys and gals are the greatest anywhere.

I have to say at this time. Please this is enough!! I can in good faith except no more.

I might catch a bit of heck for this next statement but I am required to say it.

To Quote the last words on air of my all time favorite comedian;

“May God Bless”

That be: Red Skelton for you youngsters out there

Done. Michael has become a mentor to me and has spent a lot of time answering newbie questions. He is even bending my sides and binding for me. What a guy

Michael, I'll most likely talk to you later today about something I'm sure

Michael, on a personal level I understand you feel. It's hard for me to accept things from others, too. To be honest that's nothing but my own pride, and the Good Lord has brought me to the place a time or two that I needed help. I have done nothing but grow through every circumstance and came out better for it.

So as a prideful ol' Texas boy, I understand fully where you're coming from. BUT.....sorry buddy, you're not robbing my blessing! I am blessed and honored to be able to give back to you. This is our opportunity to pay back and pay it forward, and we know the kind of giving person you are that you will continue to do the same. So don't look at this as "charity". Don't count dollars. Count the number of friends here you have made, friendships that were formed and forged by the same generaosity that you have showed time and time again.

BTW, let us Texas boys know when they find those losers. We'll saddle up the posse and ride that way!

(And Red Skelton rocks! )

I'm in, but PLEASE post a paypal address to pay you. BTW, whatever I give via PayPal, I will add 3% for PayPals take. Yup they get 3% of that too, so I could add 3.09% and so on. After awhile they get essentially nothing more due to round off! How much? Add 3.092781%

Yes, count me in!

Mike

Check Hesh's last post. He posted an address for PayPal.

From those to whom much is given, much is expected. I have been given enough, it is my turn to give. It is not much but what I gave is from my heart. If there is anything else you need, send a PM and I'll see what I can do.

Robert

$25. Where can i send it?

Thanks folks!

Michael has let us know that he has enough to help and asked that we no longer send any more. So let's shut this off now and again many thanks to all who did or wanted to help out.

Hesh, you did a good thing.

Michael, God Bless.

Now, lets start another OLF project guitar. Lets find a worthy student somewhere and dedicate it to him/her.

Mike
