december 2003 a note from ashley, boston tribute piece and lou barlow's tribute ashley sent this little note to all of us: "To all those who have sent checks (and even cash!) to the Memorial Fund thus far, thank you very much. I have received them, but have NOT deposited them into a bank account for the Memorial Fund yet because we're still working out the details of the not-for-profit account. It's tricky setting one of these up, and I'm trying to do so as fast as I can. Please be patient with us and we apologize for hanging onto all of your checks for so long. They WILL get deposited soon. Also, thanks for the notes and cards. Y'all are very kind.
