[ST] Barnacle Bill asking for help

[George K <gkeslin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This was posted on the Hawk and WERA lists.  I've dealt with Bill in the 
past as have a lot of other Hawk list members and we all trust his 
judgement on this.  So please give this a read and donate if you wish.  I 
sent $20 this morning.  Thanks for listening!!!

BTW, I know this isn't politically correct but:  MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

George
