   Does an RPG museum that could take Gary’s papers even _exist_? It seems like if it did, it would already be in Lake Geneva, right where they were putting the statue.

   There is actually a fan page on Facebook supporting the Gary Gygax memorial statue.

   This letter is in response to the confusion that has been brought to our attention by many people between the difference from “Gygax Family Memorial” and “Gygax Memorial Fund”. This letter can be printed, copied for internet use and published by either for availability to anyone.
   “Gygax Family Memorial” and “Gygax Memorial Fund” are two (2) separate non-profit organizations, not affiliated with each other, honoring father and husband, E. Gary Gygax.
   Established in 2009, “Gygax Family Memorial” dba “Gary Con”, are owned by Gary’s daughter, M. Elise’ Gygax-Cousino, and operated by Lucion P. Gygax, M. Elise Gygax-Cousino with contributions from siblings; Ernest G. Gygax, Heidi J. Gygax and Cindy (Gygax) Shu, and our friends and fellow gamers. Alexander H. Gygax has been asked to be a participant, but so far has declined.
   Established 2010 “Gygax Memorial Fund” is operated by Gary’s widow Gail Gygax, with assistance from board members Jody Mikkelsen and Jim Ward.
   “Gygax Family Memorial”, and “Gygax Memorial Fund”, common interest to be that they want to see a monument placed in Lake Geneva to honor their father and late husband, E. Gary Gygax.
   At no time has “Gygax Family Memorial”, “Gary Con”, the children or people involved, supported or do conducted business with “Gygax Memorial Fund”. Only at such time that the City of Lake Geneva has approved a sight, and construction started for a monument by “Gygax Memorial Fund” will “Gygax Family Memorial” contribute any funds collected by their original monument proposal presented at Gary Con I in March of 2009.
   In regards to Gary Con, Gygax Family Memorial doing business as “Gary Con” is a gaming convention honoring Gary Gygax .This is the opportunity for all the Children of Gary Gygax to give back to the Gamers and Fans, with 100% of all money received through donations, ticket sales and auctions to go directly to support future conventions and A Statue/Monument, no matter which non-profit builds.
