You may remember last week I put out a call for people to send any unique autographs they may have of Doug lurking in their collections. I definitely wasn’t disappointed, and will be sharing some of them with you this week.
The first one comes from William Gallaher, and is a duo of photos featuring a program and a personal letter from Doug. Unfortunately, I don’t know much about the show other than it took place on May 1st at a Keystone Hall. Where that Keystone Hall is another story that I couldn’t figure out. Anyone?
Now the letter was in regards to a blank notebook that William sent Doug. William tells me he often wonders if Doug ever used the book to scribble down notes, and where it might be now.
Perhaps that book is waiting to be discovered in someone’s collection as well!
If I recall the show at that college was canceled. If memory serves me right the explanation was a electric power failure. Don’t think I got to meet him there. They took and got them autographed for me then brought them back to me..
At least that’s how I recall it.
not sure if you ever figured out where Keystone Hall was, as I am not just happening upon this site! I was a teenager in Kutztown, PA in the mid 70s. My dad was a prof at Kutztown State College. As the son of a college prof, I got into many concerts and shows easily! Their sports complex was called Keystone Hall. I saw Doug Hennng perform there in the mid 70s. I was blown away. So much so, that I bought a poster…the Illusion or Reality poster with the crystal ball in the center. With poster in hand, I wandered back into the venue and waited around. Doug came out after most of the crowd had left, and was talking with people. I took my poster up to him and he signed it on the crystal ball! That poster hung in my room for a long time (and, in my college dorm room). I still have that poster…a bit worse for wear, but, still looks great. Was thinking of getting is framed! I’ve seen a few of those posters for sale on EBay, for quite a lot of money….none of which were signed by Doug! I wonder what mine is worth? Well….that’s my story!! Hope you enjoyed! Mark
