The Dude: Is this a... what day is this?

Howdy!

An alternative to donating money... Try my world's most specialized barter offer. (an old fountain pen) Samual Fisch's Esterbrook Pen

On April 4th, 2007 VansAirForce.net became my full time job.  I've staked my family's financial future on it.  Retirement and college savings, insurance, house payments, medical bills....the whole smash.  If you come to the site on a regular basis and find value in what I'm trying to do, please consider sending in $25 per year.  Those who should never donate are listed at right.

Almost all of the donated money goes towards college savings accounts for our two children.  The advertiser money goes towards life's other expenses (house, healthcare, electricity, etc).

One soda a month.  At just a tad over $2 per month, this amount will just buy (1) XL soda at McDonald's.  I'm hoping to get the point across that I don't want you to send a lot of your money.  We don't do pledge drives - we use the honor system here, because I'm one of those guys that thinks a person's word (or their handshake) is more binding than any written contract.

Those that donate yearly are in the running for a prize that I pick every month (well, actually I pick 'em in spurts...but I do it 12 times a year for sure).

Thanks for reading,
Doug Reeves (and Susie, Audrey, Tate, Moondog and Flash)

The World's Most Specialized Barter Offer:
   View VAF guilt-free for years for an old fountain pen.

When I'm not focused on RV airplanes or doing family stuff, I fiddle with a couple other hobbies: playing guitar, working on an old scooter or reading about history.  And old fountain pens.

For some time I've been trying to work up a small collection of fountain pens, and I do mean small.  For some reason I'm drawn to the art of old-style communication, maybe because I spend virtually all of my time communicating these days through instantaneous, electron-powered methods.  Writing with a fountain pen forces me to slow down, and really think about what I'm writing, and that can't be bad.

Any fountain style pen.  Any filling mechanism (piston, converter, cartridge).  Any condition.  Shipping address above...

I'll do some research and find out the value of it and divide that by $25 (then I'll round it up a year) - that's how many years I'll keep your name on the 'donation books'.

And then I'll thank you with a handwritten note!

Thanks,

You can contact me at dougreeves 'at' vansairforce 'dot' net if interested.
