Ivan called me today and asked that a final note be posted, to avoid any confusion. The "Crisis Fund" mentioned in a previous post is only for LOANING money to him and others in need, but donations to it are TAX-DEDUCTIBLE. If you prefer to DONATE OUTRIGHT (no loan repayment expected) your NON-TAX-DEDUCTIBLE gift could be sent to him personally at the address below. Please e-mail privately if you would like more information. Thanks. Eric W. Metzler, ON BEHALF OF _IVAN_SUZMAN_ PO Box 10456 / Portland, ME 04104 207-775-6324 E-mail: [log in to unmask]
