“Turning onto Telegraph Avenue in the hot late August Summer of 1967 was a revelationary experience to experience…

…Our car was moving at idle speed, not to run over all those free spirit bodies who were lounging, lying, dancing, walking, and/or in deep transcendental, metaphysical and otherwise peaceful dialogue.

We are immediately face to face, brain to brain with the Summer of Love, Free Speech Movement, Haight Ashbury, Peoples Park, Huey Newton and the Panthers, Flower Children, Save Our Bay, Bill Graham’s Fillmore West, Iron Butterfly, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin and Big Brother and the Holding Company, Santana, Procol Harum, Country Joe and the Fish, Ten Years After, Otis Redding, Jimi Hendrix, Ike and Tina Turner Review, mainstream drug culture (any kind one wants), Blue Meanies, and Psychedelic everything. Oh yeah – I almost forgot – our main goal is for me to complete a two year Masters program at U.C. Berkeley. Like I mentioned earlier – overload, Future Shock. Far out!”

– HAL STOWERS, Fall 2001, Looking back –

"Hal and I often wonder what became of others who were
drawn to make & survived,
the Pilgrimage to Berkeley in the late 60’s. This is Our Story…"
