I spoke with Kim recently regarding a gift for Gene. She and Georgianna came up with a wonderful idea for all the BBB owners who wish to thank Gene for his efforts.

Please send a hard copy thank you letter with an attached photo, if possible, to Kim at the following address:

Georgianna Cunningham
Attn: Kim Carter
1409 Butchers Lane
Bloomington, IL 61701

Kim and Georgianna know Gene would really appreciate a personal letter from all the buyers with a photo(s) showing their expression when they first receive the game. These should be able to be placed into a scrapbook which Kim will compile. Standard paper, 3 hole punched would be fine or choose your own that will go into a standard binder. Please do not send these to Kim via email. They should be finished and ready to insert in the binder.

I know there are other suggestions for gifts which are still fine... Kim mentioned that Gene collects bronze statuary. She realizes that is cost prohibitive but the previously posted idea about a trophy would go with the statue theme. I will leave that gift coordination to others who posted on the prior "Appreciation for Gene" post.

So, for this to work well... please pass the word to any BBB owners that don't visit the forum. When you get your BBB... snap a picture, paste it to a thank you note/letter and send to the above address. If many of us do this it should make a great keepsake for Gene.

Thanks everyone.

Take care,

John

An excellent idea, John. It would be neat if the folks who do this would also post their notes & pictures somewhere in this forum for the rest of us to enjoy / appreciate!

Hmmmmmmm, so how much does a bronze Tubedancer cost? For a small one it might be possible to make a mold from a rubber Tubedancer and then cast the bronze statue. A larger statue might have to be a custom job.

Great idea BBB94. If someone can figure out how to do a bronze tube dancer it would be a great gift... even if not more than actual scale.

Robert... do you think setting up a category: BBB Thank You's is a good idea? It would give a dedicated spot in the forum for people to add their notes and pics. Don't forget you need to send the hard copy to Kim salute Seems like a good idea to set up now before the BBBs ship.

John

Since Gene seems to have embraced the flying pig thing, if a bronze Tube Dancer does get made consider a little flying pig tattoo on her butt cheek.

Here is another idea for an appreciation gift. Would look cool with a 3D BBB in glass for his desk.

Ebay link is for item 180117145144.

Good idea, but that link scares me a little (3 rating in Russia and a name of fairbusinessman).
