Ken Maclennan-Smith's 1971 Photographs and memories

Michael Alexander · October 20, 2010, 06:20:55 AM

I'm not sure how well these scanned photos will look on receipt. They are photos which (I think) were taken in December 1971. I was a student working in the funiture section during the December vacation- so had the use of the removal truck after hours. We arranged a concert on the beach- some of the photos are of that. Others of 'ander inwoners' and students. Would be great if someone could put names to faces. I recall that 2 of the girls who are photographed alone were sisters. I'm the serious looking guy photographed alone !!

I recall writing a 'hippie style' article about the concert which was published in the local rag.

I think one of the guys was 'spider"- smoking a pipe- also that Dieter Heiser printed the photos for me in his darkroom..

Yup. The name 'Tommy' does ring a really distant memory bell. Remember Cindy- sister Dawn- ? Can't remember other names- or faces. Word oud !! But it was a fun day....
