I send this plea to you, ironically, almost exactly two years from
the date of the first appearance of Zen (January 1992).  I remember,
as if it were yesterday, slaving away at editing the early manuscripts
for Brendan throughout the month of December 1991 and even more
intensively during that Christmas vacation.

That was my first useful contribution to the Net -- this great place
to which so many people were introduced by reading his gentle and
encouraging words in Zen.  Please -- I appeal to you, as fellow users
and as fellow trainers of users of the Internet -- if you can, please
make contributions to the fund for Brendan, and make appeals to all
the newcomers to whom you introduce the Internet to do the same.
This, after all, is for so many of us what the Net is *really* all
about -- helping others when they need us most.

It is not yet known how long Brendan's recovery and rehabilitation
will take, but it will, of course, be costly.  A fund to help with
the expected Brendan's medical expenses has been established.

Donations can be sent to:
