Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Today is a red-letter day in the history of the Iron Game!
Today is Harry Paschall’s birthday.
Harry was born on November 27, 1897.
It’s funny that we’re celebrating Harry Paschall’s birthday today, because we’ve all been working toward giving him a very special birthday present.
Last week, I drove up to an old country cemetery in north-central Ohio. My mission was to find Harry Paschall’s grave. And I did.
Harry is buried close to his mother and his father, and right next to his brother.
But there’s a big problem.
Harry Paschall is buried in an unmarked grave.
I don’t know how or why that happened. But it did.
So a couple of days ago, I started the Harry Paschall Memorial Fund. The purpose of the fund is to collect enough money to buy a nice marker for Harry.
And I’m glad to say that we’ve done enormously well. We’re going to be able to purchase a very nice marker, as well as flowers when the marker is set in place – and we’ll probably end up with enough to have flowers placed on the grave at regular intervals into the future.
And so, working together, the Dinos have made it a pretty good birthday for our old friend Bosco.
I’ll keep the Memorial Fund open for another day or two, and then we’ll close it down. So if you’d like to make a small donation, please do so now.
After the marker is set in place, I’m going to take a color photo of it, and send an 8 x 10 copy of the photo to everyone who made a contribution to the marker.
It will be a nice little piece of Iron Game history – and it will be good to see what can happen when we work together for a common cause.
And so, from Dino headquarters, and from all the Dinos all around the world:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HARRY!
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
