    Do people ever reunite?

    It just makes me a bit sad that so many people are looking for folks that made an indelible impression on them. Do they find each other and reunite? Could they use this site to do that? I want to see a success story! Please! Here Comes Sunshine…!

    Rob Baker you out there brother

    It's been 30 years now since we last hitchhiked across across the land from sea to sea to sea over mountains across endless plains through National parks and forests through a desert or two north south east west whichever way the flip of a lucky quarter directed us to go . It's been 15 years or so since we last kicked around a hackysack somewhere near Dayton Ohio . You met and married your wife there and had started a family . We lost contact after that day . Never thought that as I drove away it would be the last time we would see or talk to each other. I tried to get in touch with you through Willie a couple years ago only to find that he had passed away ( my condolences he was a good friend and brother ) . I know this is a long shot since you have no presence anywhere on the net that I can find which is not a surprise considering where and how you were living and I assume still are . If by chance you should come across this message just know that your legend lives forever in memories with kind smiles . Peace be the journey and blessed be thy thumb . Hope you are well and that we will meet again if not in this lifetime then in the next .

    Looking for an old friend…

    Looking for an old friend from the early 80s's. His name was Skip, and attended many shows in that period, selling shirts and other things he made. He also had a store selling his dead shirts and other similar items in Queens, NY in 1983, when i knew him. Any one know who i am talking about and any idea if he is still with him and how to contact him?

    They went to shows with the Beanie Copter Crew, in CalTrans orange.
    Karen used to bake goodies for Harry Popick, who mixed stage monitors

    Lisa Wolf---Ft Lauderdale Fl- Crazy Fingers Dancer-- Orion

    We connected after I left FL. I posted a " missed connection" on CL and a friend told you about it. Since then, you have disappeared; someone told you to "break ties with your past" Well, I disagree! ( for what that's worth.) I told you I think of you when I see Orion in the Eastern Sky. He rises in the winter when we met at the " Warf" where Crazy Fingers would play on Thursdays. I hope you or a friend sees this and asks you to reach out. I sure miss you.
    sincerely

Have regard for your covenant, because haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land. Do not let the oppressed retreat in disgrace; may the poor and needy praise your name. Psalm 74 Looking for all Dead Heads in Darrow or Compton at BGSU! Radio DJ, Pool Man, Cliff, and any others, very bad with names, my only dead album back then was Workingman's Dead but there were some others that had every album at BGSU

I was the guy in the floor level crip section in a purple wheelchair. Names I remember: Wayne and Judy. Wayne saw his first show in '68, Judy around '90 like me. Then there was the bald dude with the iPhone I talked to of and on through most of the show, and then there was the usher who volunteered for the shows who I had a really nice chat with and who basically danced the night away as far as I could tell - and did her "job" at the same time. Neat! Oh, and the guy in the white shirt I chatted with on BART on the way to the show. Anyway, I had a great time and you all were beautiful. :) Please contact me if you are comfortable doing so, even if I didn't mention you.

Hey folks,I'm a british deadhead who recently got married and moved back to the states after 20 years(now living in Tennessee). Between 1989 and 1991 I was on and off tour and attended around 75 shows in total. I had some good friends back then and I'm wondering if any of them are still deadheads or linked up to the scene in some way? Its been ages but if anyone knows these folks please let them know I'm on this forum and ask them to get in touch. 'Greg' lived in Washington state and drove a black chevy van to every show in 1991. He had long black hair and beard. He said the Deadheads was his only family because sadly he'd lost his real family in a car crash. We toured together in the Fall tour 1991 and drove from the West coast to 3 shows in Ohio, and then the 9 night run at MSG in NYC. Those were my last shows and I flew back to England after that. In Spring tour 1989 I knew this cool couple Greg and Christine; we toured the last half of Spring tour 1989 starting in Cleveland, and going to Milwaukee, Chicago, Minnesota Stpaul. We then travelled back to the West coast, spending a week at Cougar Hot springs on route, and finally ending up in Santa Cruz, where we lived all summer. Actually theres a whole bunch of folks I knew back from tour in 1989, some of which I'm still in touch with, but mostly lost contact with: Chris and TJ (the hitchhikers to Atlanta), Chris and Amy, Chet, Jim (who drove us all the way in his van)? Anybody still in touch with these folk from '89? Suuch a long shot, but hey, just though it would be interesting to post... Lookin' forward to some 2010 shows... Jules the astrologer

For those of you who've been following this forum and wondering if anyone ever hooks up with old friends, well, yes, they do! Yesterday I saw the message that Brent's sister left and I called her. She wasn't home, but I had a nice chat with her husband and look forward to talking to Chrissy soon. I also heard from someone I'd never met who knew Brent. So if you're looking for some long lost friend, don't give up hope. They're out there somewhere! BTW I'd still love to hear from Chris Currado or anyone else who knew Brent. marj_mcc@yahoo.com

Looking for my old friend, Jeff. We lived on the same block in Newport News, VA from 1986-1988? You and Scott, who also lived on same block, introduced me to the the music and you guys took me and my son Paul to our first Dead shows at Hampton Coliseum in 1987. I also took you to my family Thanksgiving gathering one year. You were originally from CA (the Bay area I believe) and I think you moved back there. If you see this please send me a private message or a post here. Would love to hear from you! Preston

I'v been looking for my dog since september. Her name is RainyDay. She is a brendle boxer and around 2yrs old. I took ownership of her last year . Just to finde out that the guy I got her from stole her from lot as a puppy.I thought that it was cool that she made it back. She is loved by my children and myself . When I got her she definatly needed some love and care. She became one of my children very quick. Her head was to count in a rowe of children under blankets at night. She got a bed time kiss as well. My husband did a very shady thing. He asked if he could keep her with him while I took a run to oregon with my children to pick up my oldest boy. He said he just wanted to have some one to sleep next to while I was gone. Just houres after I left he passed her off to some traviler some where between sonoma and mendo county and then he him self left and I havn't seen ethore since. A friend said they had seen RainyDay with some kid outside of Willits CA in september and they where heading south. We are still looking for her and lover her very much.If you have heard of her or have seen her since september please let me know. I'm afrade she's being handed off and not loved and taken care of properly.We've lost everything inclouding daddy. So we just want are dog back!Lovin you all
