I don't even know if this is possible, but as much as Mark loved his truck and came to love this site, I think he would love it if we could figure out a way to do a FTE scholarship type program. Don't even ask me for details, cause I ain't got none. You smart people can figure out the details and what the money would go to. I'm sure it would have to be handled outside the FTE domain, but still could be used to purchase deserving members supported badges and such. I know how much it meant when someone helped Mark with his badge.

What ever the choice.. and I may even sound kind of stingy here ( because I want to witness it) but I hope that it could be given at the service.. Maybe through Dan.. he is the closes, and less chance of it not happening ( you know, incase one of us other break down on the way.. or whatever )

Yea, I can do it. I just looked @ my paypal is "O" So easy to track incoming. I can keep you all posted along the way. I never did a big group hug before but all i think you have to do is go into paypal and send money and enter my email address? I think that is how it works. But i have a question. How do i send myself a donation? So i can contribute. Let me know what you think.

If a scholarship is decided, I can set one up at the Sierra College Foundation with one phone call (it is where I have taught for 20+ years). Anyway, I hope everyone signs Mark's Guest Book at this link.
