Had a great time reading all this! I've put a link to in my bulletins and my "Oregon Articles - People to See" article.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

» Pete_Iredale - Setting The Record Just A Little Straighter

I cut this paragraph excerpt outta Bill's article:

"we packed up and headed for Seaside,Oregon in the spring of '69. We met some guys there that were making surfboards. Dan Mathews, (now a school teacher in Coos Bay, OR), Art Spence (now in Prison), Jerry Harrington (later committed suicide). I worked with them making boards.."

Greetings from the North Oregon Coast.
Just jumping on here to say I've known Jerry Harrington for 40 years and this is the first place I've read he committed suicide. I see him once a week or so and he is very much alive and appears to be in fine health.
I think at this point it is safe to assume that reports of his demise have been greatly exaggerated.
I printed a copy of the article and gave it to Jerry and he got quite a laugh out of it.
