The town is about eight or so miles from the Garrett Farm, and the Star Hotel (where Jett was trapped) no longer exists. The time element on our trips is a big factor, and to not see anything there anymore is not worth the extra half-hour down and back. With the by-pass now going around the town, I don't know how much commercial life there is left on the old streets.


Thanks, I guess if I'm passing that way again I would be interested to see the town...so what happened to the piece of crutch? And wasn't there a lock of JWB's hair the young woman got from one of the examining doctors that morning?

Excellent! THX for the repost!

It definitely looks like 1979-81ish from that brown ensemble one of the women was wearing on the tennis courts and the other pictures. Haha in pic 3 Mike Kauffman looks like he is in one of those male model calendars!
