I'm thrilled to announce a cashiers check for $5,303.19 was provided today to Officer Doug Gerten by Michael Ratliff's very generous girlfriend. She produced the funds on behalf of Michael and I cannot extend enough thank yous to everyone involved in making this happen. The Twistex Memorial Fund is back intact.
I have been asked by Doug to co-sign on an account this week that the funds, as well as any additional funds raised from here forward, will reside. The account will be opened with BancFirst. Money will not be accessible by either myself nor Doug unless both of us are present.
This brief setback has not changed the status of the memorial. Materials are enroute to the U.S. at this time. We will continue to update regarding the progress of this project and hope to have a great honor to these men available in the near term.
