68KO Memorial Fund
« on: January 06, 2007, 03:51:27 PM »
I was thinking about maybe we could all do something for his Kids, i know i would want that for my kids if something happened, and can only beg for a woman as strong as he has.

Brooke is good with patches, maybe some T-shirts with the pick of KO that someone posted on the front.

I know i would by at least 3 of those right off the ripp.

I know someone can make this happen.



Just an idea.


68KO You were one of the best!

Well I am by no means rich or even well off, but I would chip in what I could if this gets done.  I only flew with KO once, but he seemed to be a good guy, and I would want this for my kids aswell if something happened to me.

Thanks Brooke, i knew you could be counted on.

A friend of mine tragicaly died on his ATV a year ago and his friends and i were able to raise over 2,000$ for his kids by selling t-shirts.The main problem with making the t-shirts is the rough draft, thats what cost the most after that it's down hill.

I know i want at least 3 T-shirts, i just wanted to get the ball rolling for his kids.

This needs to happen...I'd chip in.  I never met KO, but the impact he made is obvious.  Being a Father myself, I would pray this would happen for my kids if something happened to me.

The Memorial was beautiful, the sentiment shown has been overwhelming....lets continue it here.

It's a wonderful idea, but instead of organizing something new, why not contribute to what is already in place?

From the newspaper obit:

Family requests in lieu of flowers donations be made to the
Anthony & Amanda Bundesmann Trust Fund,
c/o Commerce Bank, 247 S. White Horse Pike, Berlin, NJ 08009.


This IS a trust fund for his children, and it's official and everything. :)

That is also a good idea, maybe some of us would like a shirt with KO on it and some kind words, then the person that oganizes the shirts can donate the money to that which you have listed.

Myself and my Wife would love a T-Shirt if anything becomes of it. She watched the Movie of the Memorial flight and cried. She couldn't believe it.

Ill take a shirt too. Just let me know where to send the funds. Like above I only got to fly with KO once or twice he was a great mission leader. Just let me know when and I take one or two.
