It's me again. :-)

I've been thinking about the fundraiser and I was thinking that you post your paypal address in a newly made donation thread and I sticky that thread. Whoever wants to donate can just do so directly and leave a message that they did so. What do you guys think?

Hey this is great, thanks!!!
My Paypal recipient address is: bdfd1964@gmail.com

I did not mean to laugh--clicked the wrong one-- VERY SORRY to hear what happened to you. have followed you for years-- one of our very best here. If I can help let me know -- I can send you a LPM__ if that will help.. Len

Hey Len,

Since it isn't clear whether or not you received my last message, here it is in its entirety (I've never minded my address being posted publically):

================================================================
Good afternoon Len,

Hope this message reaches you.

I graciously accept your offer of an LPM.

You may send it to me at:

Craig Johnson
4120 N Valentine Ave, Apt 140
Fresno, CA 93722-4159
United States
+1 559-558-0491

Thank you ever so very much!!!

Ok I want to thank C. M. for the first very gracious donation!!!
I'm still trying to figure out how to access the funds, but I'm sure I'll figure something out.

I don't have a bank account or ID, and I'm no longer able to furnish a signature.
Having them send me a check is a somewhat remote option -- but it is an option nonetheless.

Uh oh. Craig, since you posted your address to the open forum you may encounter some issues with, "my sister is adamant that I cannot have any test equipment here living with her." I'm sending a little $ to your paypal but others may send you gear.

Hey, I think I can sneak a LPM past her -- but I'd never get a Prometric beam cross-sectional analyser through her "defense perimeter".

While I appreciate your diligence, I've had my address publically posted since 1999 and have yet to encounter any negative issues.

...I can send you a LPM...

Hey Len,

Just for curiosity sakes, have you sent the LPM yet?

 

[Unown (WILD)]

I'm sure he will before SELEM. Can you believe it's number 16?

Ok I must have missed something.
What is SELEM anyway?

 

[Unown (WILD)]

It's South Eastern Laser Enthusiast Meeting. Or SELEM for short. https://www.photonlexicon.com/forums/showthread.php/28955-SELEM-2023-Sign-Up-Thread-(SELEM-16!)

16 years so far. There's other LEMs out there as well. I forgot their names. I think one is Southern California LEM.
