Our Memorial to Marty Fitzhenry

Awesome idea Ben! I’m in. 

TY. I'm in. I have no idea about the timing, but it would be nice if we could have a dedication at York in October.

 Great idea Ben.

Just curious what is the significance of 40 bricks?

Ben said that's the largest amount of bricks allowed.

I bought a brick. Great tribute Ben.

I'll get to this when I get on home at the PC. Couldn't think of any better way. I like Gerry's idea about trying to get the dedication in October, that would beat all.

I'm in. Ed G.

Donated. Thanks Ben for setting this up.

Just did my part great idea. Only dealt with him thru this forum and a couple of emails but he was of great help with my issue.

Done....

Donated.  Should be a fitting tribute.

I love this idea. A beautiful tribute to Marty and donations go to our mutual cause. A win, win. I’m in for a brick. Well done Ben! BigRail

Great idea.  Perhaps consider a formal presentation to the TCA Museum at the "Thursday before York."  MTH will be there for their presentation, maybe they would like to do something related to the memorial on their website.

Thanks for getting this started, Ben. 

Done. Great idea, Ben.

This is the entrance to the Toy Train museum where the bricks will be place " Outside the Rails"

The folks on this forum are the nicest folks I have ever met. Ben started this idea 12 hours ago and over half way there already. God Bless each and ever one of yinz!

I am in for a brick: donated in memory of  Marty and to the honor of Marty's caregiver Dotty.

Many thanks for the idea Ben. 

I'm  in.  A great idea.  Lew Schneider

Ben, Can the memorial tribute include his caregiver Dot, she was there for him to the end and should have a mention in the memorial?

I will help in memory of Marty

To tell you the truth I havent even thought of the layout or content of the bricks  I wanted to raise the money first and then work with the museum to come up with a design

That would be the ideal thing, money first, design second. I'm sure that it will come together pretty easily after that.

Awesome idea for immortality, Im in

thanks for starting.

Great idea! 
Jeanne and I are in for a brick.

WOW, we're 3/4th of the way to the goal, that was FAAAAAST!

Ben might want to start thinking about where to donate the excess when his campaign is overfunded 

Count Me In Too.

To the American Cancer Society in Marty and Dot's name!

Okay, I'm in, less than $900 to go. 

I would take the extra money and do a tribute to Barry Broskowitz too.

Charlie

Excellent Idea

For Marty and Dotty,  never had the pleasure in person, but their contribution to this forum speaks for itself. 

Done
