Gary Burke aka CoinCrusader Memorial Medallion

[Twoshadows]

I am starting this thread to gain insight on how many Gary Burke Memorial medallions we will need to have struck. While nothing is definite at this time we are moving forward with this quest.
Again I will ask Nevol to keep track of orders for this quest and want everyone to know these medallions will be available to anyone who may want them. This will include other coin forums, family or friends. I will also state firmly THIS IS NOT A MONEY MAKING PROJECT. I, along with the other moderators, have determined that we should send a pre-determined amount of medallions to the Burke family when they are complete. There are quite a few Burke family members still with us in our castle so hopefully they will continue to check in with us from time to time.
At this time, not knowing how many medallions we will actually be ordering, I can only guess the price will remain at the $20 level. As soon as I make the final payment on the 2009 Medallion Quest I will have a balance on hand and we should know exactly where we stand. I will continue to keep in contact with Daniel Carr so that we might gain some insight into the time frame needed to complete this quest. Thank you all for your continued support.

I personally will want at least one of these medals. I would also like to donate $20 towards striking medals for Gary's family.

Put me down for one please.

[TKO]

Put me down for 2 of them.

One for me and the other for MedicineMichelle. I would like to not only buy it but actually send it to her with a note of condolences.

[Twoshadows]

Nevol please put me down for one. I posted on the other thread but would like to get everything on this one. At this time I think we need a least a half dozen (6) struck for the family. If I remember correctly they are all members of this forum.

I might ask each of you who would know of any other forums that Gary might have been a member take the time to post an announcement of his passing. I also want everyone who may be interested in having a Gary Burke Memorial Medallion to have that opportunity.

[Nevol]

The only other coin forum that I know Gary definitely belonged to is the Mom & Dad site and Rggoodie has already posted a topic there relating to Gary’s passing, and I sort of doubt that a note regarding a KOTCT Memorial Medallion would be exactly welcome there.  (Bobby is sending flowers on behalf of the Mom & Dad Forum)

Dare we risk asking Richard to ask Bobby if he would allow it?   I wouldn’t want to get Richard into hot water.

Hopefully some other Knights will know if Gary belonged to any other forums.  I do know Gary had joined Facebook a little while ago and although I used to be a member, the sheer number of Emails it generated was a pest, so I quit it and have no real desire to get back into it.

Maybe one/some of our Knights are on Facebook and one of them is prepared to post an announcement there to let people know the news of Gary’s passing and of the KOTCT Memorial Medallion we are organizing, and to let other 'facebookers' know that if they would like to purchase a Medallion, how to go about doing so.  (Direct them to KOTCT?  I'm not too sure about this aspect of it.)
