Ed:

I am deeply grateful for the support evidenced by the
petition and know that you have been instrumental in
assisting me in this cause. One other thing: there is a
fund which has been established to help with the inevitable
legal expenses. If anyone wishes to contribute, I again
would be indebted.

Thomas Klocek Legal Defense Fund
c/o Cole Taylor Bank
P.O. Box 88481
Chicago Il 60680

The IRS has determined that such contributions are not tax
deductible.

Thank you again for the support of SPME.

Thomas E. Klocek
