I commend you on your idea, but it would be a nightmare. That money could collect for a long time and I would have to keep account of every penny of it.i agree with Jim on this.... Ive been thinking about this, what would people's thoughts of starting with the 2011 membership of raising the price one buck per member and putting it in a fund for when things like this happen?
ttt. I would like to hear consideration on a memorial section. This country(USA) as most do have them for soldiers, aviators, mariners, astronauts, humanitarions, discoverers ect... lets have one for our TRS friends, a sticky after so long is disrespectful and in bad taste. I for one would not keep putting my comrads obit"s on the cover's of the local rag's indefinitley. Death sucks and it hurts. When your life contract with your government say's you punch enough rounds in folks you dont even know to equal a mountain, yea sometimes we need a place to go... short of a first class ticket to hell.Man o man, rest in peace Chance you will be missed. I propose we have a memorial section to remember those friends here on TRS that we have lost. We lost a soldier member just recently too. Maby it could be sticky'd for whatever amount of time that seems right while we grieve and then upon its entry to the memorial section it be announced so that we can all share and pay our respects together as a family. Maby the the member/members who were the closest should decide when it happens as they shared the most with their dear friend. I just dont like the thought of any of us being forgotten and its a way for us to visit a dear friend from afar, and we ARE spread out all over the globe. Its important to me that we remember and I believe it may help in the healing of our grief. Chance rest in the arms of our heavenly father for all time, hope to see you there someday kiddo.
Why don't we send money to this?The family suggests donations to the Chance Bruggeman Memorial Fund at Chetco Federal Credit Union, PO Box 3000J, Brookings, OR 97415.

i understand what your saying Jim. leave it to our money hungry government to take the kindness people have and make it even harder share when needed .I commend you on your idea, but it would be a nightmare.

anyone know how a non profit org gets to stock pile money till needed wouldn't this be the same???
I couldn't agree more.As for merely donating to the fund listed in the obit, I think if we all donate to a paypal fund here and then combine them into a single donation from TRS to the fund listed in the obit it may better show what he meant to this community.
