GYGAX MEMORIAL FUND

[Legacy_TSMDude]

               The Gygax family has begun raising funds to erect a monument in honor of the late E. Gary Gygax. Current plans are to seek a location in Library Park, located on the lakefront in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.

A bronze bust of Gary, facing the lake, is the proposed memorial. We hope to incorporate gaming elements into the design, with a bench for viewing and reflecting. Final details of the design and site are pending, and will go forward after being approved by the Lake Geneva City Council. We hope to break ground in 2011.

Gary encouraged millions of men and women to excel in literature, math and science all by making it fun for them to open a book in order to excel at the game. Please take a moment to tell us how Gary affected your life as part of the testimonial we will be presenting to the Lake Geneva City Council with our request for the site.

               As a donor, I must say this is worthy of most every Roleplayers attention.  A simple $1, $5, $10, for some of us it's less than the amount we spend in coffee per day, your donation will provide a reflective location for generations of roleplayers to come and learn about one of the strongest forces in the roleplaying world. 

I don't think anyone, including Gary or his family will ever truely realize the magnitude on which his efforts has touched each and every one of us.  I gave to this cause when I first heard about it because I want to be sure that Gary's driving spirit will continue to haunt this world.
