Moose, I first met Curt when I was about 14 years old but I don't know if I was in Southern California or Northern Cal at the time.
Was Curt from the San Francisco Bay Area when he was a teenager?
If I'm not mistaken, he used to come up to the Russian River 72 miles north of San Francisco while he was a teenager.
Reeves spent some time up thataway also.
Rio Nido was the place to be in the 50's and every kid in the Bay Area spent at least a couple of summer weekends there.
Reeves, Eifferman, Haywood, Holvochik, Freeman, and many others who eventually made a BB name for themselves. (It must have been the water!)
