Gary was killed in a car wreck in the '80's. He bought Belle's Mercedes from PWK. I have some pics of that Mercedes going down an old logging road in the Ozarks to get to a swinging bridge over Big Piney. One of my best friends in Hope. I have seen Bobby Barham's sig on several pair. He was plant accountant later and sold me my first pair of Heresy's. I paid $400 for a pair in raw birch direct from the factory. I had done a lot of environmental work for Klipsch at that time. People that know a lot about the plant know that in the '70's the rendering plant that was located at the neighboring chicken plant was causing a LOT of odor problems. I was able to get the EPA to finally take some action to correct a slew of problems. Took several years. The State refused to act, and the EPA had to be dragged kicking and screaming to enforce anything. Long story.
I knew Gary in 1976, rode in that grey Mercedes many times. I came back to Hope this week for the PWK Birthday Bash after 48 years away hoping to see Gary, Danny McCloud, Gwen Cox, Judy Harris, Tommy Crouch, Bob Moers, Bobby Jo Garcia, Curtis Putnam and Gary Gilliam…..Only Danny was to be found. So many lost now….very sad.
