If I'm reading the website right, Ron Johnson died back in September 2002. 
I'm not arguing that the station doesn't need help (I've been following its 
struggles, and cheering it on from afar, for years) - but if I had the 
$300,000 to rescue the station, I would feel a lot more comfortable dealing 
directly with the licensee than with an eBay seller with zero feedback!
