      Thank you John. It was a great effort but unfortunately not successful through this program. However we are still receiving financial support from people who still believe in what we are doing in the arts and honoring this very special addition to Oakland's history. I will contact you shortly on how you can still support the project.

      Thank you all for understanding and lending your hand of support. I will contact you shortly.

      Thank you,
      Eric Murphy

      Wish I could make up the difference!
      Was happy to do what I could for James Gayles, and so sorry that this particular project didn't get off the ground.
      Keep me posted if there's another attempt in the future. Blessings on all here.
