<center>FINAL HOURS


SPELLED LAST CHANCE</center>

650 VIEWS, NO BIDS SINCE FRIDAY NIGHT

<center>NOW OR NEVER!</center>
 
My thoughts:

In the next hour, this thread will be viewed by most of the people who were interested in Eagle as a friend. It will also be viewed by MANY who would just like to HAVE an Eagle blank. It will also be viewed by SOME who have a real, human concern for Lynn and her family's future.

I BELIEVE I can do NOTHING for my friend that is MORE important than helping his wife and family. So, if you have ANY suggestions about how to financially assist them, please e-mail me. IF you would "pay big bucks" for his blanks, e-mail me.

RIGHT NOW, I thank Steven for HIS offering the fruits of his talents for SALE for the first time. In addition, he has "walked the extra mile" to include the commemorative coin.

I would encourage everyone who Eagle contacted over the years to consider the VALUE of the conversations.

Either bid here or make a donation through the Eagle fund on Lou's site. You'd pay $100 for a Wood Craft lesson, wasn't Eagle's direct guidance worth at least that???

Thanks for reading!

Ed (One of Eagle's "phone friends")

Friends of Eagle -

I spent a couple of hours with Lynn, Paulie and Charlie last night on their way back to South Carolina. It was a lovely visit considering the circumstances. I had met Lynn and Paulie before, but this was my first meeting with Charlie, Eagle's granddaughter.

Lynn was returning from the burial in Connecticut at the Prisavage family site.

We spent several hours reminiscing and Lynn spent a great deal of time expressing her appreciation for all of the comments and for the generous donations made in Eagle's memory.

Folks, we're down to the wire on this one. We have a very generous donation of 6 magnificent "Skiprat" creations. You can own one of these beauties AND help defray the considerable final expenses.

Between the contributions and this auction, we are helping with nearly half of the final expenses. You cannot imagine how much of a burden this is lifting from Lynn's shoulders. Keep up the bidding, folks.

Do a good deed and get a great new pen!
 
Final consideration: (As I was mindlessly lawn mowing, I was thinking about this auction and what, if anything I could say that was poignant.)

I have never SEEN a stainless steel pen!! I don't BELIEVE anyone, outside of "Skiprat" (and possibly Bruce Boone) has SHOWN a stainless steel. So, while these bids are certainly respectable, and we DO appreciate the bidders' generosity, there really is NOT a standard that I know of to determine what IS the "market value"?? As I thought about this, it seemed to me, these bids may actually NOT reflect the COMMERCIAL VALUE!!!

More FOOD FOR THOUGHT!!

BID NOW!!!!

TWENTY MINUTES LEFT -- slow typist

<center>Thank-you to all!!!!

There is one final thing we (Eagle's friends) should say here:</center>

<center>THANK-YOU, JEFF BROWN!!!</center>
You have been amazingly generous and forgiving. We thank you very sincerely.

ED

After I posted, Judy sent me down to her Mom's to deliver fresh peas so I missed
the end of the auction.
Hmmmm, have you been workin' my wife to conspire against me?!? [}:)] [}:)]

Jeff,

Thank you for showing great deference and a magnanimous attitude to us during this time of our grief and allowing us to hold this fundraiser to help Lynn and family in their time of need.
Thank you.

Congratulations to all. And Thank you! This is a great cause and I hope you all know that not only are you getting an awesome pen but more importantly, you are helping a VERY SPECIAL lady in a difficult time. I know how much Lynn appreciates all of our thoughts and prayers. I also know how much it means to have to worry a little bit less about finances during such a time.

Jeff, Thank you so very much for allowing all of us who feel this loss so deeply to reach out to help our friend take care of his wife when he can't be here to do so. Of all the things I can say about Eagle (and there are many many good things I can say,) The ONE THING I can say with ABSOLUTE Certainty is that Lynn was the most important person in his life and he loved her with every fiber in his being. You have been very generous and kind!

Mrs.
 
Lou, Skiprat, Paypal has been sent. Skiprat, kudos to you on your generosity in putting this together. I'll PM address for shipping- I'm eagerly awaiting having an original "Skiprat" creation in my collection.
 
Spectacular, guys-n-gals. Simply awesome.

Skiprat, you are all heart. Well, some talent too.;)

This has been one of the coolest things I've ever seen on the internet. Right up there with the big auction that happened a few years back where the children at a hospital got to vote on the best pen, and Larry took home a new lathe.
