rrasco 1,312 Report post Posted April 27, 2014 Only ended up at $12, but throwing in an additional $5 per dats goal and what the heck $3 for z for a $30 total. What a depressing finish :/ 3 vladdy16, hooon and 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hooon 1,089 Report post Posted April 28, 2014 I think I only got to $3. Pretty sad. I sent $15 instead, hopefully next year is a big one! 2 vladdy16 and 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vladdy16 2,154 Report post Posted April 29, 2014 We've dedicated our gift in the past - the first was to honor Darren McCarty's father and the second was to Mike and Marian Ilitch. How about Gordie and Collen Howe this time? Or we could do Lids since he just retired. Also, when you send your payment, try to remember to send it as a gift so Paypal doesn't take any fees. Thanks!

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted April 29, 2014 I'd have to put my vote in for Mr and Mrs Howe. The poor dear man's been declining. Best to get it done while we have the chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
troubadour 40 Report post Posted April 29, 2014 I'm fine with honoring Gordy. Another option could also be for Tatar's late father, Jan. 1 rrasco reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ogreslayer 1,069 Report post Posted May 4, 2014 Vladdy as always, thanks for heading the effort up. My rounded up payment in now on the way. Sorry about the delay. 1 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vladdy16 2,154 Report post Posted May 5, 2014 We have one last participant who is setting up a PayPal account and then we'll be all set. I'm really thinking Mr. and Mrs. Hockey. It's nice to recognize people while they're able to know about it. Well, Mr. Hockey, but he'll get a warm fuzzy for Mrs. Hockey. We can do Tatar's father next season, or split it if we have someone else in mind. Besides, I'd have to offer contact information for Tatar, and I don't know about anybody else, but I'm not privy to where he lives. 1 hooon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rrasco 1,312 Report post Posted May 8, 2014 Awesome. Not that I really mind, but I wish we could have done Tatar's father this year b/c it was a recent event. Next year it won't be as relevant. I completely understand the urgency to do it in honor of Howe though. We probably could have gotten an address from that article or Helm's tax records b/c he owns the condo Tatar lives in and had their neighbors complaining about late night activities. Or, I know someone that knows him and could have gotten it through there, maybe. Either way, I'm happy the money went to someone who could use it. Thanks Vladdy.

vladdy16 2,154 Report post Posted May 8, 2014 I'm with ya, rrasco; I really liked the Tatar idea as well, but there were more votes for Mr. Hockey I think - (it's early, no coffee) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
55fan 5,133 Report post Posted May 11, 2014 Thanks V16. It's good to have someone here that is willing to do this and is a trustworthy individual that we can feel comfortable giving our money to, knowing that it will end up in the right hands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
