Dear Friends,

I am a dear friend of Ric Romano/West. As you may already know, he was in a very serious car accident 2 weeks ago. He is improving and no longer in the intensive care unit at Long Beach Memorial Hospital. It will be some time before he is stable. He was living in his car and it was destroyed.

He was putting his life together, performing music, and working part-time. It is my intention to collect funds to support him as he gets his life together once again. He lost everything!!! Ric is strong and determined to once again be able to play music and work again.

Thank you to everyone for your kind, caring support.

Peggy David
