I've got them. I live close to there so it's no problem. I'll go there this afternoon.

Thanks Meadows! I'll call and let Chuck know that you'll be the one picking up the shoes.

IF ONLY OUR GOVERNMENT COULD MOBILIZE AND COMMUNICATE THE WAY THIS COMMUNITY DOES, JUST THINK WHAT WE COULD GET DONE.......

Target is the most non-freindly store on the planet, don't waste your breath Moya. They refused to let a Marine stand out front and collect at Christmas for Toys for Tots or the Salvation Army.

actually, we always have salvation army people outside target around the holidays in columbus....
although i do agree that getting support from a big business might be a problem...
(missing the point, but i want to cover my ass "just in case" my aid for the tackett's comes from tarjaay...

the one request i would like to make is PLEASE make sure the gear being donated, (shoes, and harnesses especially) are in good shape. the shoes you were going to resole with the half-dollar holes in them are not very helpful.

i've said it before and i'll say it again. we have the greatest family/community anyone could ever hope for. the things i have seen in the past few days would make chuck norris cry. all of you people are some of the greatest friends matt and amy could ever hope for. i like most of you to. please do not worry about me at all, not that you were, my losses were minute in comparison to what my friends lost. being there for them is the biggest help. thanks to all of you, you rock my socks off.

as you guys should be.....moving to lexington and getting to know the great crew that climbs at the Red has been the best move Karen and I ever made.
