Rocketown Records president, Don Donahue, was also there to support the event and the artists. Don used to cover A&R for Reunion Records and often worked with Rich, especially when gathering lyrics for his recordings.

Kathy Sprinkle (left), a former Wichitan and Light 99 air personality, came back to give support. Here with Betty Horn (a local fan who helped provide some of these photos), Kathy was a long time friend of Rich's, back to Cincinnati Bible College days, and was integral in helping Rich's family get through the days after the accident and the memorials. |
Kim Guerrero is a Native American actress who has appeared in films (most recently "Naturally Native"), and also a very funny lady. She also tried to give us a glimpse of the needs for those on the reservations. (Kim also just happened to be the wife of the bass player for Temple Yard.)

Johnny Guerrero plays bass for Temple Yard, the next group to perform. They were invited because of their involvement with Native American outreach.

As the sun began to set on Cessna Stadium, Temple Yard including Marky Rage on keyboards and lead vocals really got the crowd going with their reggae rock sound.
|
Eric Sundin (lead vocals and guitar) as well as most of the group were all former members of Christafari (which still continues under that name).
|
Next Alyssa and Dave shared more about their dreams to carry on this ministry Rich started, and collected a love offering that would be the financial start for the Legacy.
|
Finally the Ragamuffins, the group that most were waiting for, took the stage. Rick Elias told us they were barely ready, and that they would need our help in singing some of the songs. They opened with "My Deliverer" which just a couple weeks earlier was the number one song in the nation. |
