If he won't speak to you, just say "Jerra, does 50,000 watts of power in Farmers Branch mean anything to you?" Mission accomplished.

failing that, I'm in for the same amount i sent to the site.

Edgewood Cemetary cannot tell me that because of privacy issues.

I'm sort of stuck until his sister who has the legal authority calls me.

My boss (a multimillionaire) pledged to donate this afternoon. He's a very generous man, so it might be a nice contribution.

LOL

I sure will. If he will talk to me. That isn't a given.

[Jack-Reacher]

Count me in as well.

[Bob Sacamano]

I'm definitely in, all you w/ big pockets leave some room for the rest of us to donate, don't be glory-hounds!

Hos, could you PM my request to your boss?

[Warick]

Count me in, too.

[Rocky]

I'm in pending more definitive info.

[Scotman]

I'd consider it an honor to be included.

[zrinkill]

Me and my business partner are both in.

Perhaps the marker fund could be setup in such a way that, if more donations accumulate than needed for the initial marker, some of the extra could go to ongoing upkeep.

If even more is received, we might consider a "Bob Hayes Memorial Scholarship" for a deserving student at his old high school.

Finally, if the HS no longer exists, perhaps Florida A&M could use it to setup a scholarship in his name.

Just my 2¢
