[atlantaprog] STARCASTLE NEWS

ok, I'm no Starcastle fan, but George Roldan posted this on the RoSfest forum 
so I thought I'd pass it on here....


I am sad to report that Gary Strater, Starcastle bassist, is 
currently wrestling with cancer of the pancreas. A musician and sound 
engineer with no medical insurance, his medical bills currently total 
more than $36,000.00 with no end in sight. He has had to give up 
playing gigs as his guitar rests right over the tumor and causes 
great pain, and he cannot fully inflate his diaphragm to sing. The 
lesions in his liver cause him to feel constant nausea. But Gary has 
retained his sense of humor and is fighting for his life. You can 
help by showing up and enjoying great music, buying raffle tickets, 
and making donations to his medical fund. 

We have been fortunate enough to have a guitar donated by Dyke Corson 
from http://www.corsonmusic.com/ The guitar will be raffled off at 
ROSfest. Raffle tickets $5 each or five for $20 (may be purchased 
prior to event by contacting me at 484-432-7357 or at the festval.

Lets show the Strater family how much progressive rock fans care and 
help them out in the time of their need.

Proceeds will go to the:
Gary Strater Benefit Fund
c/o Bank of Illinois
217-351-6500
100 West University Avenue
Champaign, IL 61820

Your friend in Prog
