 Dick,
 I posted an excerpt from the "Fishing and Hunting News" about
 2 weeks ago, before the MAW people announced they would grant
 Eric's wish.  I'll repost it below this because I think we
 should all send in a couple bucks.  Even if his trip is already
 paid for, we need to make the statement;
 WE TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN!
 With a strong show of support, other organizations will be less
 likely to back down in the face of pressure from anti-hunting
 and/or anti-gun organizations.
 Regards,
 Jeff

SCUM WATCH: Bravo to Make-A-Wish Minnesota.  That organization has
endured slams from anti-hunting scumballs for it's decision to send a
teenager named Erik -suffering from a life threatening disease- on a
brown bear hunt in Alaska with his best friend, his dad.  The
reported anti-hunting vituperation -which allegedly included hopes
that something bad happen to the youth to prevent him from going on
the hunt- got quick attention from the Wildlife Legislative Fund of
America, which is calling on sportsmen to donate to Make-A-Wish at
5201 E. River Road, Suite 309, Minneapolis, MN 55421.  Safari Club
International's Minnesota chapter donated $4000 to Eriks wish.
... "Corrupt" is too harsh, I prefer the term "Ethically Challenged".
