    Barry Oursler has made huge contributions to pinball. His games such as Pinbot, Space Shuttle, Dr. Who, Comet and many, many others have been bringing joy to pinball lovers everywhere.

    Barry and his wife Donna are BOTH very ill. Dealing with bone marrow cancer and kidney failure has them fighting for their lives, and their medical bills are huge.

    Please do your best to help Barry and Donna get past this tough time in their lives. You can also help by copying this message to other threads.

    Any donation will be appreciated. Please go to the link below.

    Thanks,

    Steve Ritchie

    Barry is a very nice guy and he made some really great games. Even though I'm very low on funds I still kicked in what I could.

    I spoke with Barry last night about his situation and the incredible success this fundraiser turned out to be. We even did a little interview, which you can read on www.pinball-magazine.com.

    thank you for posting,
    Donation sent. Hopefully people will bump this thread from month to month; as a reminder.
    I plan on donating again and again if necessary. I can not say anything more that has already been said.

    Why tell everybody you send a payment? Just help if you can, no need to tell everybody you did.

    Quoted from PappyBoyington:

    Why tell everybody you send a payment? Just help if you can, no need to tell everybody you did.

    I think it is a nice way to bump a donation thread and also people are influenced by others in their lives that they respect.

    For example, one may subconsciously say, "hmmm Dave donated and he is a good guy, I should donate also"
