The background: This has been a Well tradition for some years now. The files were first compiled by former Well user Dave Blount, who turned his set of 366 files over to me when he left there. I post this list each morning, and it always generates a lot of talk. And sometimes we tell each other the same stories year after year...

Set highlights and adjectives always up for debate - some are my highlights, some are Dave's, some are gleaned from other Well posts.

So.

Today is June 12. On this date in Deadhead history:

I'm making a little pilgrimage to the city for the 40 th anniversary of summer of love. We had our 6th grade graduation from a Sacramento school in the summer of ' 67 and we bussed in for the day,let off the bus and told to be back at 6:00 . WOW Anyway I would like to know if the house where group was photographed is still standing and what is the address? Thanx so much!!!
