[ A letter from Peppi ]

Dear Rat fans,

I want to thank all you guys who came to the benefit on March 1st. I especially want to thank the folks who traveled long distances to be there. I was overwhelmed by all the love that was in that bar that night. For those of you who had to leave early and missed the 7 or 8 songs I sang let me say I'm sorry I didn't go on earlier.

In the way of thanks let me say that my four friends (Mike Rodden, Rick Stanton, Joe Femminella, & Chris Candida) who put the event together did a great job. Also "The Hardliners" along with Stefan & Gene, George Tebbitt, Phil Sasso, Kirk Peters, Dean Giuffrida, and Carl Emerson all played great and made for a fantastic night of Rock & Roll.

We had 27 sponsors who contributed everything from booze, dinner for two, skiwear, makeovers, & even great tickets for the Billy Joel play "Piano Man" on Broadway.

I wish I was able to name and thank everyone personally here on the site. I also want to thank those fans who could not make it to the party but purchased merchandise thru the mail or just sent cards or money. You guys have helped me through a very difficult time.

I hope to get started again in May so I can see all your smiling faces again.

God bless you all,
Peppi Marchello
