That's not quite accurate. I am asking for donations now as I have periodically since 2001. I need the money to pay for the SPOON. We use a website service that costs $127 a month. Since all readers benefit from the SPOON in at least some way, I ask that you all contribute a donation.
Few people have ever donated. I estimate there are about 2,000 or more living '60s Lancers. Of all those, only about 50 Lancers have ever donated.
I never make a penny from the SPOON. Since we started, I've sunk thousands of my own money into paying for it.
Please don't think I'm asking for any other reasons, because I'm not.
Now if you dislike the SPOON, or as two people have told me, "It's not of value to me", then please don't send a contribution.
Starting now I will retool the SPOON for those who appreciate and enjoy it only.
At least you can recognize the work, the skill and the dedication it takes to create and maintain. I have no staff. I write it and edit it myself.
Thanks. If you have any questions, I'll be glad to answer them.
Cheers,
Paul Saevig, '67
