| To Family, Friends and Fans, |
We just want to say "thank you" to everybody connected with the event. It was our first time together on stage in over 36 years and to pull this off we needed help and support from our family and friends.
A special thanks to everyone who attended the event and made us feel welcome:
Helen Mc Kenna-Uff - Helen from the Edgar Allen Poe National Historic Site and with the Friends of Poe Society did a fabulous job as Edgar Allen Poe as well as helping to organize the event. Without Helen there would not have been an event.
Renee DeMarco - Renee opened the show with Lenore and did a great job.
The GS9's - They are also from the Edgar Allen Poe National Historic Site and did a great job warming up the audience.
Sharon Knoeff, Hardy and Helga from the German Society of Pennsylvania welcomed us into their theater and made us feel comfortable. Just a great setting for our performance.
Bob Ross - Bob is a producer from Saille Vision and was kind enough to begin filming a documentary on The Glass Prism which will be completed some time in the not to distant future.
Jim Rising - Jim is from radio station WDMT 102.3 The Mountain in Scranton PA. He produced the commercial that you can hear on www.myspace.com/glassprism It was aired many times. The Mountain also played songs from the Poe Through The Glass Prism album.

They make The Raven Beer and Stephen and his distributor, Bella Vista in Philadelphia (thanks to Jordan for delivering the cases) were kind enough to give away bottles of The Raven Beer to everyone of age at the show.
