hey there say, rgold... and for rich romano...
ohmy.... i am sorry, i never saw this...
*i think i was learning i was going to be moving, etc, back then... and then, soon i was busy...
mostlikely i thought this was just help a climber, as to funds and since i could not do so, i tried to just post or keep on track as to my moving, etc...
dear rich:
now, i see it was an accident, and a climber hurt...
keep getting strong, and working on getting well...
there are stil victories to be had, even though, at times, you may not see them, and they may seem clouded..
each meadow, is there, no matter how many wooded and rocky areas seem to keep you away from them...
god bless you rich and deep as you make your trail victories through all this hard trail...
my prayers are joined in here, now, too...
sorry i did not help with at least prayer support, earlier... :(
now, may a happier new year, still be yours, and to your loved ones, as well...
:)

Thanks for bringing this back. After a while, it seems that everyone has already seen it and there is little hope of raising any additional funds.
The effort has raised more than any of us thought remotely possible, thanks to a wonderful response from the climbing community. In addition to the generous contributions made by many from this site and from gunks.com, Rich received a truly remarkable contribution from an anonymous climber that totally changed the game and made it look, for the first time, as if his total indebtedness could be successfully addressed over time.
In spite of all these heartwarming responses, we still need to raise some more cash for Rich, even if it trickles in over time. The new route cards advertised in the Round 2 thread, http://www.supertopo.com/climbers-forum/1379530/Help-a-Climber-Round-2, are at this point our primary vehicle, and we hope that anyone planning to visit the Gunks this year and looking for some good old-fashioned real trad climbing would consider getting some of these.
We've still got lots of snow, but the days are getting longer and the Spring climbing season will soon be upon us. Climb well and come back safe everyone.
