Subject: Thanks to a member

Hello 914 Lovers,
My name is Gordon Bleck and I do not own a 914. I do spend half the year in the
jungles of Sri Lanka where I'm involved with gem mining. This last year I
became absorbed with the tsunami relief and dedicated most of my time to
assisting over 1200 families who had lost everything.
The purpose of this little note is to express my appreciation for one of your
members, Mike Mueller, who has donated to my relief work. I have no other way
of contacting him so I'm sending this note to those who share his passion. Many
thanks.

Pax, Gordon Bleck

way to go mike!

...now please send 1000 in cash to me and I'll send back 50000 in un-traceable gems



j/k good job Mueller

i thought it was a scam too... but wtg mike!

Selflessness never goes unrewarded.

Good work Mike.

I'm blushing

I wish I could have sent more, but I do believe the small amount helped more so by going to him to help the people instead of being absorbed by some not-for-profit org.

Truely proud of you Mike.

The last few weeks notwithstanding, this is STILL the kind of thing I think of when I think of this non-club and its members.

Gordon was here at the shop a week ago. I overheard him explaining to a friend what he has done. It's impressive! He's leaving for another 6-8 months, much of which he'll spend helping people in need. It's not a minimal "shotgun" approach; he's limited his aid to a group of people who really need it, and it's comprehensive and in depth. By providing essentials, he's hoping to get them fully self supporting soon, so they in turn can get others on the way to recovery. A snowball effect........
