Hi Friends!

Uncle Bob wanted to announce that soon he will hosting another Ebay auction to raise money for a solid brass plaque in Darrell Lynn's honor.

Darrell was a member of the Professional Disc Golf Association and was instrumental in implementing the disc golf course in Shelby Forest State Park at Memphis. He was inducted into the Disc Golf Hall of Fame in 1994 and served as the administrator of the PDGA from 1986 to 1993. Darrell diligently dedicated himself to the progression of the sport and the representation of the players. Throughout many board changes in the PDGA, it was often Darrell who shouldered critical responsibilities and took on tasks necessary to ensure the integrity of the organization. The early proliferation of professional disc golf around the world would not have been possible without the perseverance and personal sacrifices of Darrell Lynn.

The Lynn family wishes this for Darrell. He is asking you, the disc golf community, to come together as you did before and donate to this cause. The estimated cost of this solid brass plaque is $3,000. It may seem a bit much but nothing less would be a fitting tribute to Darrell. The ebay store will be named Darrell Lynn Memorial Auction. Uncle Bob is also asking for assistance in setting up the store on Ebay. If you are interested in helping out please contact Uncle Bob. His contact information is listed below.

My cell is 870-650-1332

My address for donations(checks, cash or discs):

Uncle Bob Thurmon
105 Brown Ln
Trumann, Ar. 72472

If sending check or money order you can make it out to "Darrell Lynn Memorial Fund" already established at Regions bank by Connie, Darrell's sister.

Take care my friends and again lets do this like we did before!

Thanks to all

I just want to thank everyone ahead of time as i know we will achieve our goal. The solid brass plaque will be estimated
2 foot x 3 foot rectangle. The estimated cost is $3,000.00
It will be mounted permantly on the wall of the pavilion at Meeman-Shelby course that Darrell and Steady Ed installed in 1978. Please if you have any discs of any value please send them. Lets do this one more thing for Darrell and his family of nieces nephews brothers and sisters. The young ones only knew of Uncle Darrell who couldn't move or talk much. This is a tribute they would love to see and know about
Thanks

I hope to have the ebay store open by 12 july. I have made a mistake in my earlier description of the metal in Darrell's Memorial plaque. It will be SOLID BRONZE NOT BRASS. I apologize for my mistake and hope that I have not mislead anyone. The main issue is to memoralize Darrell the right way. To my understanding it will show his HOF picture and description along with many other accomplishments he achieved. We desperately need donations soon as I cannot open the ebay store without items to auction.
Thanks to all again
