<VV> Buddy Holly <was> OK Iowa Goers--You'll Be Safe!

[Dennis & Debbie Pleau]

Wayne Christcow worked at the Surf Ballroom a few years ago, he had a 67 
Corvair with over 500K miles.  Anyone know if he is still in the area.  At 
one time he lived in Albuquerque and always made the Tri-state after he 
moved to Clear Lake.  We haven't seen him in a few years.
