Galen is part of a great art show. And Dave has some pieces as well! Dave says, “They have a garden on the grounds and should be a lot of fun.”

*****

I went  on Sat and it was wonderful. Galen’s art is excellent. And, Dave created bags made of Galen’s art. It was hard to choose what to get and I ended up totally going for it. Very nice!! Also, lots of messenger dear hearts about, Monseur, Anthony, Joe, Kim, Dave’s sister and Family and more!!

You can reach out to Galen and check out his stuff:

Sarah Murder stopped by the other night and told me that she stumbled upon an exhibit at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts featuring SF Messengers photographs by Bill Daniel. She showed me her photos of the exhibit. They are lovely and some heartbreaking, as Markus Cook is included. The photos are enormous and apparently span most of the wall from floor to ceiling. The photographs were taken in 1989.

I asked Stephan Kizziah if he had seen them yet and he is heading there soon. He mentioned that he recalled that Bill Daniel also filmed a Russian River ride, as well.

 

Through January 25, 2026

Very sorry to announce the passing of Bonz Fuchno (Maritime Hall, Speedway, Lightning Messenger). He was one of the first messengers that I met at the Wall. I used to hang out with him and Spanky. Bonz was a vibrant soul. He will be missed.
