If the majority feel that one group gift would be better, that would be
great. But, I think Joy's idea would be much more personal and meaningful
coming from Clayarters. One problem, if everyone on Clayart gives them a
piece of pottery, will they need a special room built to house the
collection!?
But, I'm game for either idea

Joanne,
Others have responeded that we should send a pot ---- a mug etc.,
personally I think this is stupid. I am certain tha he is a better potter
than myself; so lets be cheap send him something he doesn't neeed --
right ---- wrong. Instead lets be inventive, It is my understanding that he
would like to have a digital camera. God dammit how much would this cost. I
mean for a really good camera; I have a 1600 X 12000 pixel camera. Lets buy
a better one. God think of all he and Mary have done. How many hundrends of
people could contribute a dollar for the hundreds of hours. Co'monnon guys
lets give a nice rich gift. I'lll step up with a $50- $100 donation.
Obviously I hope it we collect several hundred, but this is ridulous - send
a mug; dumb.. Think of all of the hours he and Mary have spent helping all
of us.

Hi All......... I have to agree with this one hundred percent.... Joe and
Mary already have a house full of pots, and yes he does want a digital
camera. He's been looking for a while, and if he hasn't gotten one in the
last couple of months, it would be a great gift... For those who can't send
$, I know Joe and Mary would appreciate a simple note/card.... after all, I
think it was for the PEOPLE that they have done this for so long....

I really appreciate your opinions on the matter.
I wasn't suggesting ONE mug or pot ...I was thinking of Joyce's wonderful
collection of dinner plates.
I find your use of the words "stupid" and "dumb" quite offensive.
Turns me off to your message.

A camera, or cash equivalent so they can decide for themselves what to buy,
sounds like a great idea. The Olympus C-2020 seems to be a current winner;
Olympus is coming out soon with an even better one. I'm in the market
myself and trying to decide. Someone could check these websites:
http://www.imaging-resource.com
http://www.olympus.com
http://shopper.cnet.com
You can now get a C-2020 for less than $600. Yum! Lesley in So Calif.

------------------------------------------
I've been away for a few days, and don't know how long this
has been under discussion. I think a digital camera would
be an excellent choice, and worthy of someone who has given
thousands & thousands of hours of his time to the benefit
of the list. Plus, think how useful such a camera might
indeed be in some of Joe's research in South America.
Count me in, Tom.

A camera sounds great.
People on the list need not be intimidated by offers of $50-100, though.
It's wonderful that some are willing to give so much, but there are many,
many people on this list, and if even 20% of us do a little, there couldn't
be much of a burden on anyone.
I say give them the cash, with no stipulations. If they want a digital
camera, they'll want to choose their own, and perhaps they'd rather do
something else, after all. Just tell me whom to send the money to.

I am not good at maths and have no calculator, but have worked out at an
average of an hour per day going through the list and editing/moderating
since 1995, that would come to 2400 hours. Now that conveniently comes to
the equivalent of 100 twenty-four-hour days AT LEAST. Over three months day
and night, or coming up to a year 9 to 5 workdays. That is an awful lot of
time out of these good people's lives! Not to mention the hassle involved.
And I would like to think that Mary gets a hand-shake too... (talk has only
been of Joe's digital camera so far).
If they have batteries in the jungle and the humidity does not affect the
thing, why not? But I think the $ would be sensible, so they can do what
they want! A holiday would probably be the most appropriate after ALL THAT
WORK!!

P.S. How will we people without a US bank account or credit card be able to
contribute?

As a point of compromise, I suggest buying a gift certificate at an
electronic store, which has a website, as well as stores in major cities.
That way, the recipients can choose which camera (or other equipment, of
their choosing) will work best, and if they live far from a store, they can
buy it from the retailer on the web.
