The Tarbuster benefit/party is on for April 25, at Todd Gordon’s house. It will be memorable, what with old and new friends, tall tales, music, Stonemaster slideshow and book preview by Dean, and an opportunity to help out Roy.
There has been a wonderful outpouring of donations for the auction. We plan to hold it at 7:00-8:00 pm, just prior to Dean’s slideshow. All proceeds will go directly to Roy. Here are just some of the confirmed items and their donors:

Hey Rick,
Sorry I didn't e-mail you about the prints I'm donating. I've three prints of John Yablonski taken late one nite at Joshua Tree in my old VW van, it was snowing out and Yabo wanted to come in outta the cold. We got high and made some photos, I used a headlamp to lightup Yabo's head.
I was going thru the archives to scan things for the Stonemasters Book and found the images, they had never been printed. I made a print from three of the negitives and put all of the prints in one frame. I don't offer my personal work for sale, ever, I give it to my friends, so this ones for Roy. DF

Lynne,
We are hesitant to establish minimum bids at this time; currently we are looking at an open bid format.
Suggested minimums may be suitably announced at the time the item is presented for auction.
Thanks for asking!

We have a great range of auction items and will start the silent auction about 5:00 p.m.
Due to the vast number of items, we will auction most of the stuff by a silent auction. Here is how it works. There will be a sheet of paper next to the item. All you have to do is write your name and a bid on the paper. The next person puts his/her name and a higher bid, etc. The silent auction will be closed when the auctioneers decide and make an announcement.
A select group of silent auction items will continue to be bid on in the live auction beginning, around 7:00 p.m.
Roy has been incommunicado because of 3 feet of snow in Ned, and his power and internet are out.
His address for sending cash or check donations is:
Roy McClenahan
PO box 463,
Nederland, Co
80466
It is too late to send auction items to Roy’s house, since Roy will be leaving for Josh soon. If anyone has a last minute auction item, just bring it to Todd’s.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at Todd’s house.
