Well, I did it, Kevin. I managed to get in under the wire. It’s 18:51 here; that makes it 19:51 there, or 9 minutes to go. I would have done this sooner, but I managed to forget my wallet each time. It’s not going to put WVU in the Top-10, not that I care about that, but at least it puts them on the list. I’ll need your assistance with sending the proof you need. Shall I send you my e-mail address, or may I use the “abuse” link and scan copies of the receipts to you?
Addendum: It’s now 19: 06. I got called into a meeting. I still got the donations in before 19:00. I would have liked to have posted this under the wire as well, is all.
