Gary Gerloff memorial May 27th

I attended the memorial, arriving late, but at least I made it. Coby Batty and Johnny Hott & friends were supplying some heartfelt music in the lobby, I recognized a Dylan song. They played to a crowd of several hundred, who milled back and forth between there and the gym, where food was set up on many tables. The pictures on display of Gary (plus his Stratocaster) were great to see, and they also were on a slide show in the lobby.

Later, we went down to the Positive Vibe restaurant, where musicians were gathering, there was quite a crowd. The place has doubled in size, and Gary was very involved in the success of the place, taking on any job that was needed to be done to make it happen. A true public servant, R.I.P.
