Thanks, Tim! I read IV's 1M-word trip report. Think if you combine his w/ Watergirl's (a true foodie-gourmet), that'd be one stellar report!

That's right folks. We've received pledges that have brought our pledge total up to $6,500. Only $500 more is needed to purchase all the equipment on the list for the St. Barth Fire/Rescue Service (and bring back da man, IV). Remember, no pledge is too small or too large. Private message KevinS, JEK, Island Visitor, Kara Brooks, or Tim with the amount of your pledge and to receive mailing instructions for the check. Thank you again to all those who've shown their support to the Friends of SBH.
P.S. Replying to my own post is something I learned from IV.

Honestly, I already donate to the Red Cross and Médicins sans frontiers, so I wouldn't have a guilty conscience for passing on the contribution to the fire fighters/rescue team on a fairly wealthy/healthy island - but the chance of buying back IV's wit, insight and annoyance to the board, I can not resist ;)
Oh God, I miss IV and would love for him to come back! Unfortunatly, the amount my budget admits me to contribute doesn't bring us home on the fundraising, or by any means reflect my opinion on what he is really worth, so please help me out here...

Back in reality, cherishing memories of a dream that came true!

Thanks Karibien for being the first European to pledge. Even supporters without checking accounts can figure creative ways to support The Friends of SBH and restore free wheeling speech to our friend IV!

For MikeR I would pay a Kings ransom to keep around. Maybe it's the ski thing. As for IV coming out of "retirement" I could care less and think it is a cheap shot using this venue to sneak back in the poster lime light.
I've pried my wallet open for the fire/rescue, but surely not to get a poster back on line.

Martin,
Sorry that you took offense. Tim and I thought it would be a fun way to keep this topic at top of mind and top of the list of active threads. Thanks for your support in any event.

I agree.
So as to seperate this worthwhile cause from my status in the site, let me personally thank everyone who has donated to this charity. The "raffle" was meant to bring a smile - perhaps a little amusement to keep the thread lively.
In any event, those who have donated to this charity have done a wonderful service for the people of St Barth. And you also have my personal gratitude.
Merci,
Ben

Welcome back, IV, I look forward to your participation here again!
And I also hope those CPR-instruments come to good use on SBH.
