Assistance Needed for Dean of Anime Fandom
Date: 4/22/2005
Anime and anthropomorphic pioneering fan and writer Fred Patten suffered a stroke in March that left him paralyzed on his right side. He is no longer able to administer his gigantic collection of anime and manga, or his other personal items. His items must be moved on April 25th, and if you live in Southern California and are available to provide assistance, it would be tremendously appreciated.

Anime and anthropomorphic pioneering fan and writer Fred Patten suffered
a stroke in March that left him paralyzed on his right side. He is no
longer able to administer his gigantic collection of anime and manga, or
his other personal items. His items must be moved on April 25th, and if
you live in Southern California and are available to provide assistance,
it would be tremendously appreciated.

On Sunday, April 24th, volunteers are needed to help with the following
tasks:
Loading boxes onto hand trucks
in Fred's apartment
in Fred's storage units
People to continue boxing items once there's more room
Transport of items to the Robert and Wendy Pini residence in Thousand Oaks

On Monday, April 25th, two drivers have volunteered, but it would be
nice to have a backup in case of emergency.

If you would like to help, please contact Lee Gold. She is coordinating
the entire move. Her email is as follows.
