I don't think that any of us old timers wouldn't like to help Kent out but the bottom line is with $200. a night rooms, $4. a gallon fuel and all the related costs, we are the wrong group to hit up.
Kent has a lot of friends out there besides the LSR community and some of them have big bucks.
I feel for him but would rather give a hundred bucks to Save the Salt or this site than fund his endeavor.
I wish him the very best but if it was easy the girl scouts would reign supreme......................... Bob
