Moldy Marvin & Becca's 2nd annual Rat Fink Party Kustom Kulture Extravaganza held July 21, 2001 was a huge success.  It was a very emotional time for me.  I left Utah headed for California, my first trip without my sweetie. My wipers on my eyelashes worked pretty good for the most part.  Was I nervous?? Yes!!! CA traffic is a lot different than what we have in Manti.  Ed would always take the driving over at Victorville.  With help of mapquest and "Bert da Shirt" we found our way to the party.

The eye thing started again when I saw all of those beautiful cars rumbling down the freeway. I knew that Big Daddy was VERY pleased.  I could feel his spirit at the show.  It always gives me a great feeling to see the awesome cars, trucks and bikes that have been given such loving care by their owners, cruise happier than any new car on the road.

It was fun to visit with friends and see all the talent of the artists in the tribute art pieces they had made in honor of Ed.  What an outpouring of love.  Ed did love the shows and loved his friends and fans.  We always knew that our times at the shows would be fun.  It was very special to have Nick help us again in the booth.  He passed up a lot of exciting events to work with Rat Fink!!  My family loved the show.  Wyatt kept the camera busy and we have a lot of pictures of the cars and bikes. 

I know that there are a lot of new people that came to the show to share their art and cars, that is so awesome to keep the car show life going strong.

I want to thank all of the people who donated art items to the Roth Estate Fund Raiser and want to thank the generous people who purchased the art.  Also, I want to thank everyone that has been contributing to the Fund through the web site.  This experience is very close to my heart.  It is really humbling to have such loyal friends that are so willing to help. 

I really appreciate the hundreds of hours that Moldy and Rebecca spent on making this event so spectacular.  He mentioned that there were a lot of volunteers that helped and we all appreciate them, but the strength of the event was the planning for several months that made this such an awesome event.

Hope to see you soon. 

Love, Ilene Roth
