Hi Chris...Thank you my friend I just try to treat others as I would hope they would in return...very honored by and all you guys for your comments. I have more than a few challenges myself but there are always others out there worse off than me and I have been there. I do not know if this is allowed(if not delete it)but I do what I can for these guys being where they are before I just cant sit and let it go without doing something for them no matter how small it my be. At least I have my dads old stuff to try to restore and I am ok with just them. I do not want anyone to feel obligated but if anyone wants to help in any way send me a PM or any donations to my address and Ill distribute any to them when I have my twice a week visits with them. Please do not send anything un-till after the 3rd of August if anyone wishes to. Thanks my friends and brothers you inspire me. God bless.

Let's bring this back to the top again, Mark derserves Kudo's for what he is doing for other hurting guys in his community..

What I would like to propose is giving Mark more than a pat on the back we as a community could be getting behind him to help him on his selfless endevor. I'd like to challenge others to send one of your dust gathering kits that you know you'll never get to this year or even next. How many of us have those kits we thought would be really great to build at the time then and now are looking at it for parts or whatever. How about giving it to someone who will give that styrene the renewed appreciation it deserves again?

This week I sent him a package of a couple models, some of my excess razor & X-Acto blades, super glue and other stuff. I was greeted in my pm-box with an excited, appreciative, Thank You! You know what it was worth every penny to get that kind of appreciation for doing something so little. How about it lets give Mark and his guys a helping hand, you'll feel great knowing your stuff went to a very deserving cause! How 'bout it?

P.S. I'm not looking for a pat on the back, I've already got more than I deserve with Mark's heart felt Thank You!
