[DeTomaso] a lot of Pantera content

[Matt]

I'm not sure how to start this but here goes. I would like a way in which we could help Asa Jay and Shelley out with the bills for Sams treatment.
I can't think of a more deserving family and every little bit helps when it comes to money. Hopefully we could make it a little better Christmas for the Laughtons.

I'm not even sure Asa Jay would accept the help but I know he is too proud to ask, and now he won't have to.
For all he and Shelley have done for the club over the years and his service to our country, and we all could use a little help now and then. And Sam is better praise God.
I imagine most all the budget goes into paying hospital bills now and very little to extras like fulfilling personal goals.
Besides I'm tired of his "when the money allows" fixes on the car in preparartion to fulfill one of his dreams, running his Pantera at Silverstate.
I remember a call to arms after Maddog melted his ride. He didn't ask but many helped in various ways(money,labor,parts) to help him keep racing and LIVING.
Without The Phoenix to kick butt with, by now he'd be a full time hapless blabbermouth in a wig and a skirt talking about the good ol' days in a bar somewhere near Ely and nobody wanted that,especially the locals.
He'd probably agree with me; )
Maybe not quite the analogy I was looking for but...

I'd like nothing better than to hear of Asa's total experience driving the Pantera at Silverstate next year and Sam and Shelley happy and healthy.

So let's see if we could send a little love their way by going to Asa Jay's blog for some interesting reading and links and clicking on the PayPal donation button to help out if you can.
I have contacted them and they have given thanks and approval to any donations they might receive on Asa Jay's, Shelley and Sam's behalf.
And let's continue to keep a prayer in our hearts for Sam's good health.

Merry Christmas ya'all
