Thanks, Larry.
For anyone who'd like to contribute, you can go here:
http://roadhaus.com/PIF.html. Larry collects contributions in the fund,
then he'll send them off to the account in New Zealand. The website
reporting Andrew's death (
http://www.otago.ac.nz/geology/news/files/andrew_grebneff.html) provides all
the info about how to put money into that account. It also includes the
family's address, if anyone wants to contact them directly.
Paypal only needs to work for putting our contributions into Larry's fund -
though I think it does work worldwild.
Joy
