I received a card in the mail from Chance Bruggeman's family. I scanned it and posted it here for all of you to see. It was sent to everyone here:

Thanks to all of you who contributed.

There was a not on the envelope that read:

p.s. Donation made to the college C.B memorial fund for automotive students. - ongoing!

For those of you who missed it, C.B. stands for Chance Bruggeman
