We just got word from Alex Shao through Oscar that all the proceeds from the auction are going to TEMAC.
Oscar put out a desperate call a few weeks ago that all the remaining modelling stuff in Alex's basement had to be removed that day. Oscar, Andy and I went over and loaded up our cars and sorted through the stuff and auctioned it off in 25 lots so far. A few more items remain.
In the scramble to empty the house, we did give Alex a second chance to make sure he wanted to donate the money to TEMAC.
From my notes:
Oscar,
So far I have collected $463.00 in cash from the auction items. It looks like we will bring in close to $600. Do I send the money to Athol or do you want to see if Alex can use it?
We all benefitted from the auction because everything that was sold was a good deal for the buyer.

Alex's reply to Oscar's e-mail is in the screen shot below:
Thank you Alex for your generosity.
And thanks to Frank, Andy and Oscar for making it all happen.
