I am indebted to New Falcon Publications for this sad piece of news...
Do what you can, eh?
We are sad to announce that Robert Anton Wilson's health continues to deteriorate, and ongoing medical costs have depleted his resources. (For those of you who believe that being a "successful" author means that you make a lot of money from your work...well, that's rarely the case.)
During October, New Falcon Publications will be donating 7% of all online orders to Bob's fund. We hope that you will help, too.
Any donations can be made to Bob directly to the Paypal account, olgaceline@gmail.com.
You can also send a check payable to Robert Anton Wilson to:
Dennis Berry
c/o Futique Trust
P.O. Box 3561
Santa Cruz, CA 95063
Due to an overwhelming response Bob Wilson is no longer in financial difficulty. Apparently $68,000 was sent in in one day. An email from Wilson's daughter was sent ot donors:
"On behalf of my Dad, RAW (Bob), I want to throw my arms around you "like a circle 'round the sun!" for your loving graciousness in posting Bob's need on your site. As of about 5 minutes ago, over $68,000 has come in. We are all overjoyed as it now means that we can continue to celebrate this phase of his life in the comfort of his own home, with all the care he needs, until his passing, honored by the loving support of so, so many wondrous folks...."
