Thanks for asking, Melody. I would've replied privately, but I assume you're not the only one who's asked that question. There are, in fact, two funds. I started the first one (the one with the Wallshaker address and the donate button). Tony Brown - of Full Press Records started the other shortly thereafter. When I started mine, there were talks about someone planning to doing it, but at that time, nobody else had done it. So after a conversation with Ron's daughter, I got the OKAY to start it.
Regardless of which fund you choose to donate to, ALL of the proceeds go directly to Ron's family. THAT'S the part that I care about. [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- it doesn't matter. We're all in this together. Thanks again for the question, and allowing me to shed some light on the subject.

JUST because I have to be such a lawyer about it.... I'm wondering - is the memorial fund the same as the email address for [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or are there 2 funds?
