Hey David,
Great to hear from you. It's been a long, long time since then; thanks for keeping tabs on us.
And thank you and your community for doing the auction benefiting our cause. That is equivalent to 3-5 assistive technology grants, which means Racketboy just changed a few lives.
Again, great to hear from you, and we look forward to your continued support!
Steve

Hi Mark, Stephen, Ben, and all,
You may remember me – we did an interview waaaay back at PAX East in 2011 (http://www.racketboy.com/podcast/racketboy-podcast-26-the-able-gamers). I hope you are all doing well.
I just sent an $88.00 donation to AbleGamers through your website, a donation that is my share of payment owed from a recent charity auction that we held over on racketboy.com in support of your organization, one that raised a little over $1700. You can find the thread here, if you are curious: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=48052
We’ve run the auction for the past five years or so, always in support of a different cause, and this year I received a tremendous amount of positive feedback about the work you do from those who took part in the auction. As a representative of the community over at Racketboy, I just wanted to let you know that we are all impressed by what you’ve accomplished over the years and we were very happy to support your future endeavors.
If there is anything I can do (either personally or professionally) to help you further, please let me know!
Whoever is sending me the NES Console can you throw in the SMB1, I'm doing a custom paint job to that system and want to give it to my sister and husband as a gift.
And like I mentioned earlier I'll be happy to chip in on shipping if needed, thanks!
