This is from Charlotte Minor, sister to our friend Tuck (John Koontz). On it's way to the 2018 SG101 convention is this memory quilt dedicated to one of the most dedicated of surf band fans, John Koontz, whose fatal heart attack in May 2017 saddened his many comrades in the surf band community. The quilt is made of surf band t-shirts John had collected over the past few years with a photo of John at SG101 in the center of the quilt. Center photo is by Chris Fesker of The Aquasonics. Many thanks to Jerry Davis for bringing the quilt from Colorado to the convention. Quilt was lovingly made by John's sister, Charlotte. The Royal Aces are pictured holding the quilt in the photo below: —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea Last edited: Jul 30, 2018 12:28:34 |

We'll sure miss John. It was always great having him turn up in Portland to take in a show or two with his brother around convention time. Brian wrote: — Rick |

Is there a show on Friday night at the Alpine Village venue? I seem to recall that there was one last year, but I am not seeing any mention of one this year. —The Sun Rays -- The Sierra's Surf Band |

I'm very sad to report I can't make it this year due to a personal calamity. I've only missed one before this. I hope to regroup with you all next year. Please have a blast and take some video. I'll be thinking about you all. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea Last edited: Aug 01, 2018 13:02:13 |

I'm bringing a box full o' bargains, most priced @ $1. But, there are some rare imports and really hard to find CDs in there, too. Buy Speed of Dark @ Bandcamp |
