Saturday 08/15/2009 I finally when back to Woodstock or (Bethel Woods) after 40 years. I have to admit I was amazed to see how they changed the place. A new music center, a museum, all the food and drinks money can buy. I never thought that that party....... weekend would affect so many people. A tear came into my eyes when I saw the stage area and the location wear we spent most our time, watching and listening. Out of the five people I knew, 2 of them disappeared and 2 passed away.

A lot of people there today talked today about what they viewed in the movies. You just had to of been there to experience it. All I have to say is THANK YOU to whoever was the Governor at that time and the great State Police who enjoyed it as much as I. I guess they were shown very early THE WORLD NEEDED A GOOD TIME. It would gotten truly ugly if force would have been used. I have stories that I will not share today.

The music was great. I did not have to view the bands because we were fortunate to be apart of the Fillmore East customers. I have to admit I had to see Janis Joplin perform, front row. They were all great. The band that got the party started Friday evening was CCR. As far as you could see everybody stood up and started dancing in there place. Thanks to Dylan for opening his house to the entertainers.

Finally THANK YOU to that elderly couple on Route# 17B who open their house to everyone who needed to use their facilities. The people I meet were great. Rick
