Buffy episode 704 is up.
This appeared on a UK media board. I make no claims that it's not a fake, but it claims to come from the guy who played DJ on Roseanne:
As you may know funerals are very expensive and his family has been left with a considerable bill following Glenn's funeral. We as his friends have established a memorial fund in the hopes of lightening the financial burden on his family. To lose Glenn is a tremendous tragedy and for his family to be forced to deal with financial hardships on top of the emotional ones they are already facing is horrific.
It is for that reason that I ask you to help spread the word and contact information for Glenn's family. The memorial fund is call...The Glenn Quinn Memorial Fund and all donations should be sent to: The Glenn Quinn Memorial Fund Care Of Mary Quigley 12049 Valleyheart Dr. Studio City CA, 91604 Please help us, Glenn's friends, help his family by relaying this information to as many people as possible. Any donation would help. A few dollars from many people adds up quickly and would go a long way towards lifting the family's financial hardships. Michael Fishman
It's not a fake: [link]
It appeared at [link] too. (I believe they're an unofficial site, although I gather from various posts in the fandom that the webmistress is well-respected.)
However, usually more reputable funds are through a bank and donors are usualy asked to make donations that are payable to the fund in care of the bank.
I advise caution, not because I think it's shady, but because I have yet to see any sort of hallmark of legitimacy. (There's a difference.)
My feeling is if someone is organizing such a nice memorial fund, they should go through a bank or other institution rather than directly collecting money, and also - the letter that I saw at glenn-quinn.com was not a scan of a letter with Michael Fishman's (or anyone's) signature, but rather just a transcription of same.
eta... Xpost at Xpurposes with Michele T.
Lisa H. asked me to let you all know that she is definitely hosting a Baltimore-area Firefly party on the 20th.
E-mail her at Lisah@bust.com and she will send the details. You can also e-mail me at profile addy and I will try to help.
Hope to see lots of Buffista faces there.
