Duke Final Report 12/14/04
Greetings Everyone.
Grant Moses Lambert, AKA: Duke of URL, is alive and well. I spoke with him at length last night by using the Long Distance Telephone. Duke is preparing to move to Lincoln, NE, to be within a short distance of the Veterans' Hospital there. His cataract surgery is still "scheduled" but there is an enormous waiting list at the VA Hospital -- several years -- and he cannot drive until the surgery is completed. He has received his computer and will try to get back on line as soon as possible, possibly tomorrow (Wednesday, 12/15/04) via a dial-up connection from his home. Duke told me that he was absolutely overwhelmed by the wonderful response from everyone who supported him in his Hour of Need. I don't need to tell you all what a wonderful job you did in sending donations, cards, trying to motivate the VA, the HHS, and other worthless civil service drone refusniks. Duke told me his finances are still in bad shape, what with being unable to work for several months, having the house robbed and all of the other expenses which go along with everyday living for a person with severe mobility challenges and being in and out of the hospital. Add that to the fact that the hospital is miles away and requires a day-long trip by shuttle van, Duke has had to surmount some heavy odds. You all know how niggardly* the government is with pensions and other social support services. It is only through volunteers such as you all out there that we are able to band together to help one of our brothers or sisters. "Band of Brothers and Sisters" says it all. You all did a wonderful and very good deed helping Duke. Some have asked where to send additional donations; Duke's mail service is back to normal, so you may send donations and cards directly to him. Duke's address for the next few weeks until moving to Lincoln is: Mr. Moses Lambert 1221 N Madison Ave, North Platte, NE 69101-7243. Please send any items direct to him now, rather than to me as we were previously doing. Anyone who would like a copy of the spreadsheet accounting document, please e-mail me. Again, please accept my more heartfelt and sincere thanks for your wonderful involvement, spirit of comradeship and selfless giving. My G-D bless you and yours in this Christmas and Chanukah Season of Joy. Most Sincerely, Dave Mann AKA: Misterfixit * Note to PC Police, this word has nothing to do with a certain racial slur.

I can't send money as we're living with the same pension problems as the Duke, but I can at lease send him a greeting card and make sure he knows we all love his grouchy old self. Pam S. |

I'll try and send just a little bit, it might help in the long run. Tweed |

Dave, thank heaven for good people like you who manage to round up other
people to help out friends in need. I'm sure your holiday season will be the sweeter for being such a caring person.

At least he will know he is being thought about half way across the planet :-) Yowie |
