36 Days to Go!!

Hello dear folks... Lon and I would sure appreciate your support of our project. A huge THANK YOU to those of you who have already generously contributed to get us to the 42% funded mark. If you haven't had a chance yet, please take a moment to visit the link above and make a pledge of ANY amount to help us reach our goal to complete this tribute project to our friend, mentor and folk hero, Gamble Rogers. 

We are close to the halfway mark already but need to average $100.00 per day in donations for the 37 days remaining  to reach our goal.
