Thanks OBX!
Bill will get something in the mail by the ending of the week in David's name. I'm hoping the Monday morning line at the Philadelphia main post office will be short since most are there to pickup the penny stamps.
Funny how u should mention the cats, I rescued a kitten in my Grandma's backyard when it was abandoned by its mother. Apparently, my cousin touched it and her perfume got on it. So I took care of it b4 a neighbor adopted it.
Cowboy hat off to the kewl Monkey! *scratching* Good 'ole David!

I posted the following on another thread but thought maybe it should be here also:
I thought hard about the various choices in making a donation in David's name and finally decided on donating to 14ers.com because I realized that due to Bill's efforts not only have I gained valuable hiking information but more importantly I have gained an extended family.
God Speed Talus Monkey!

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

Talus Monkey Memorial
I have been long overdue in donating to this very useful and well managed site a site that is more like a community as ColoMtnHike correctly points out. Great quote by the way ColoMtnHiker. David's passing is a reminder to us all that "the mountains don't care." We can best honor his memory by hiking and exploring with the same joie de vivre that he exhibited and with a renewed respect for these great peaks. My donation in David's memory is on its way.
Indeed, God speed Talus Monkey.
