    The posts in this thread make fascinating reading.... But almost every post leaves me wanting to know if there was a happy ending. Did they find eachother again? How was it? It would be grate to hear some stories of happy reunions!

    Mickey's eyes are brown.............good luck on your quest Too bad your birth mom is not more cooperative! "Brown-eyed women and red grenadine, The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean. Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down, And it looks like the old man's gettin' on." think all you can do now is listen to the music play.......... xoxox Gypsy Cowgirl

    Thanks for responding to my post. I also appreciate you giving me other ideas as to bands to look at. I checked out Frank Zappa and it looks like he has brown eyes....Bill's photos looks like he has brown eyes, but Mickey's look like they may be blue. Unfortunately contact with my birthmother has proved to be difficult as she is still living like she was in the 60's...roaming and not settling down anywhere....bouncing from friends to friends. Contact was made with her father and he said she only calls and checks in periodically. When he was asked about what band he thought my father played for his response was Grateful Dead. She supposedly is still following some of the members...I was born in Alaske in 1969, but she was only there visiting her mother and step father as he was in the military there. After she had me she brought me back to her Dad's house in Houston, Tx. I don't know where she was when I was conceived. I wish I knew where my incredible genes came from...as it doesn't appear it was from my mom...lol! Just kidding! I think my father would be proud of me...I'm well accomplished in life and have always had a natural gift of being musically inclined. I've taught dance for the last 20 years as a hobby...funny, Bill's mother was a dance teacher! There is no telling who he could be and I'll probably never find out. I would just hate to go through life and leave this earth never knowing. I enjoy getting to know others on this site and really appreciate both you and gratefulmom for responding to my post.

    Bernstein that is, she lived in Chicago back in the early 80's till we met in Santa Fe, NM. Then she relocated to Berkley,Ca. We dated for a couple years till I left Ca for treatment in MN. Been here 22 years. Just wondering how you are? Franko

    hi-just wanted to say good luck finding your father. Also, I believe both Mickey & Billy have brown eyes. If you've found your mother, she may be of more help than anyone. (as to what bands she was with) Also, where were you born? Frank Zappa had alot of groupies.......So, just good luck again! Gypsy Cowgirl

    Can anyone see the resemblance?
    Well, I've been looking at the photos of both Mickey and Bill.....Weird thing is I can see a resemblance in Mickey but some of Bill's photos look like my 15 year old son. Can anyone else out there see the resemblance or is it just me? Help me out guys....I'd really like to know. If anyone has thoughts on other bands that had a drummer with brown/black hair and blue eyes I could be looking at let me know. I was born in 1969 to an unwed mother who was a groupie....her name is Billie.

We flew from LA to SF, as I was arriving to visit my cousin, Frank Cervarich, in Sausalito, having just turned 33 on Sept. 11...just as we arrived, you phoned with the kindest gift I've ever received, which I could not accept: a Backstage Pass to the Show...only one, so I just couldn't leave nanoseconds after arriving. But, I have never, never, never forgotten the thrill of that phone call and your kindness. Please email me, as I remember your company being so much fun on the flight. I've always wondered how my Life might have changed, had I just said, bubbye to my cousin, but I just couldn't do it to such a gracious host. Would love to return the favor as I can get you a Backstage Pass for Keller...do hope our paths cross sometime, as I still love seeing Ratdog and Phil and Mickey when I can and follow Jambands such a Keller, SCI and Leftover and Umphreys, Tealeaf Green and others. Hugs to you, Kind Jill, wherever you are...hope Life has been Good to you. I'm still in Dallas, if you are ever this way., or maybe at one of the many Festivals I love attending. Peace & Love, 99

I wish to Inform the Deadhead community that my Best Friend in the entire world as passed and any fellow heads that would know him (and there were many, many heads)should know that this happened, particularily Tony in Portland that i do not know how to contact but I saw at the 2004 show there with the Dead. Andy was a model deadhead in his belief system or principals. Jerry would of have been proud to call him friend , he never wanted to be a typical fan or hassle anyone at anytime. He was my music partner we went to so many shows together , the ones on my profile is a small sampling. His knowledge of the music and the Dead plus numerous other band community was like a library of knowledge , The vault people could of used Andy. The following is his Obit and the DEADHEADS worldwide weather you knew him or not, should heed to his passing. His story is 30 years plus and amazing. It would take more space than I'm provided to tell the story from beginning to end. I have been given his music collection , which is quite extensive in tapes as well as CD's , Probably more than 3000 pieces or more. I will be cataloging this collection of live shows and all. The following is the OBIT , My Tears have flown for three days now since I found out. Yesterday was the big day for the furneral and being with his family. I have known Andy since we were 15 years old. John Andrew "Andy" Vojtko John Andrew "Andy" Vojtko of Libertyville Visitation for John Andrew "Andy" Vojtko, 45, will be from 1 p.m. until the time of the services at 2 p.m. Saturday, June 28, at Holy Cross Lutheran Church, 29700 N. St. Mary's Road, Libertyville, with Pastor Robert Davis officiating. Born Aug. 18, 1962, in Libertyville, he passed away Wednesday, June 25, 2008. Andy had lived in the Libertyville-Mundelein area all his life. He was a 1980 graduate of Libertyville High School, received an associates degree from the College of Lake County and attended Illinois State University. He was a charter member of Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Libertyville and was employed as a cook at Winchester House for many years. Andy enjoyed music, model trains, the outdoors, various pets and cooking. Surviving are his parents, Gerald and Delores Vojtko of Libertyville; two sisters, Jane (Charles) Binning of Cornville, Ariz. and Lynne (Darren) Rogers of Wauconda; and his favorite nephew and niece, Ethan and Brianna Rogers. Memorial contributions can be made to your favorite charity. Arrangements were made by Burnett-Dane Funeral Home, Libertyville, 847-362-3009. Published in the Chicago Suburban Daily Herald on 6/27/2008.

Hey Scott! where are you? It's me~ Debbie with the 2 b's! I hope you're okay! It's been almost twenty years! Can you believe it?! I still have the t-shirt you made me! I miss you! I also want to thank the people who helped me out when my car broke down back in Columbus, I think you were all OSU students, living in a frat house (back in 1990, I think). We listened to Dead music all night until the tow truck guy came at eight in the morning! I never got a chance to thank you and I didn't get any of your names! I don't remember much except for someone eating a burrito at six in the morning and something about a dog and one of you was taking a class in photography! You were the one who waited up with me :) Thanks again!
