Rick,

Thank you for your very kind words and, more importantly, for helping me to promote the Foundation's raffle. I am so excited that we may have a chance to raise a huge amount of money for the kids at St. Jude in Ronnie's memory. The overwheleming response we have recived since starting this endeavor fills my heart with so much joy. I know in my heart that Ronnie is smiling down proudly on us for what we are doing in his memory.

Rick, you and I both know that Ronnie will always be remembered as the great drag racer and ambassodor to the sport of drag racing, but I also wanted him to be rememberd for his big heart, his easy going nature, and above all his compassion for others.

Again, thank you for all you have done and continue to do for the Foundation.

Diane
