Gene,
I have been a long time Skynyrd fan. I had the great opportunity to be back stage twice when Skynyrd was in the Baltimore area in 1975 and 1976. I forgot my camera in 1976 at the Cap centre and Ronnie told me don’t worry next time. There wasn’t a next time. Ronnie treated me great every time in the area. Enclosed are two photo at the  1975 concert in Baltimore at the Baltimore Civic Center. I always wanted to meet you Gene and just talk. I still go to the concerts and already have tickets for the July 16th show in Hersey, Pa and the June 24th show in Aberdeen,Maryland. I have some real nice pictures taken by me at the York, Pa show in 1974 and wanted to give to Johnny and Gary Rossington. I was in Jacksonville, Florida in November 2005 and went to the grave sites. Enclosed are those pics also. I really would like to talk to you and have ordered one of your shirts it’s great Gene nice job.

This is really nice, Steve. I have been trying to find out when Lynrd
Skynrd played in Baltimore at the Civic Center. I thought it was about
2-3 months before the accident. It looks like I was wrong. According to
you, they played there in 75. Do you know if they palyed in Baltimore
at the Civic Center in 77? The The J. Geils Band played the same card
that night.
