Sad news for the IPL. Dewey Song, one of the original members of the IPL, and consistently one of the top ranked players died of a stroke June 23rd while at the hospital for his dialysis treatment.

Services were held for him on the 23rd and 24th of June.

Dewey is survived by a wife and a young son. As you all know, the death of a spouse or a parent is a heart-breaking thing. It can also cause quite a financial burden for the surviving members of the family. With this in mind, the Itaewon Pool League (after consulting with the team captains) was happy to give the banquet raffle ticket proceeds to Dewey's widow and son (850,000 won). We would like to raise some more money for this family of one of our own. Therefore, we are providing two accounts for people to be able to contribute to this cause.

For international donations, of for those of you without a Korean bank account, please send any donations to the following PayPal account:

PayPal -  jumieahn(.a.t.)yahoo(.d.o.t.)com

For those of you with Korean bank accounts, please send donations to:

KB Bank, Account Number 026402-04-150679 [the name is Ahn Jumie (IPL)]

As I said, I hope that we can, as a league, help the family of one of our own, Dewey Song, by generously giving to this cause.
