Update #4: Well we didn't make it.
I know it was an ambitious goal, but based upon what similar projects were able to raise I really thought we could make it. Thanks so much to everyone that pledged. We may scale down the project, break it into phases and try posting it again after the first of the year. We hope you will consider supporting us again.
Thanks again,
Bill Dean

Update #2: 10 days in
We are 10 days into our campaign and things are going a little slower than we had expected.
Please help spread the word about our project!
We hope that everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
