I hope other folks who were there will include some thoughts, notes or responses to this.<br /><br />I don't know who was responsible for organizing things but nice job. Maybe someone who knows will post a special thanks to those people.<br /><br />There were several display boards assembled with concert tickets, clippings, drawings, and photos from Rose's collection. Wine, beer, food and lots of people - many of whom hadn't seen one another in a long time.
