Urgent!

[Scoop Sanderson]

This is so like me. I can't even do something nice without looking foolish.

This is in reference to :Want to help a family...

I just got off the phone with the hospital.

First of all, most of you must know I meet a lot of people. And it can be confusing. John Buckler's Grandson had surgery awhile back, and I thought the "John" I wrote you about here was that kid.

It's actually the GRANDFATHER that's in the ICU, and not the grandson.

Second, I had no idea how big this would get and how fast. Your replies have been so quick, touching, and even eloquent (I love "Pins Winging Westward"). So I have no idea how this will get straightened out. But I have faith it will. (Lauri?! Nat?! Matt?! Joette! Help!)

Third, this is even more important to me now because, as much as I like the Grandson, it is my love for his Grandfather that has really inspired me to want to help. (Some of you may have met him at one of my seminars. He is so sweet, happy and kind.)

So please forgive the bait and switch. (I will be sharing the story of my call to the hospital that had the ICU Nurses searching for a ten year old John Buckler, while a much old John Buckler COINCIDENTALLY was right there. Also, coincidentally, my wife recently cleared our all my old e-mail, so I can't even refer to any of the old stuff about the grandson's condition.)

Anyway, Grandparent's are kids too, especially at Walt Disney World, and I know this will in no way dilute your enthusiasm and support. I think of WDW as the world's largest playground, and I really want John to come out and play again. And I hope all the rest of you kids know how much I love playing and trading with YOU too!

SO HERE'S THE ADDRESS:

Mr. John Buckler - ICU#14
Arlington Memorial Hosplital
800 W. Randol Mill Rd.
Arlington TX 76012


Your Pin Pal,

Dear Scoop,

Pins are for kids of all ages - thanks for the information and a pin and some Pixie Dust is on its way tomorrow.

Thanks for doing this for him, you rock.

If I could, I would award you a CTT pin. This is what this trading thing is all about.

Hi,

My DS Florida pin will be in the mail Monday.
Anyone have other states to send? It would be too cool for someone to have a whole set.
