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.

The SFBMA was emailed by a Community friend.

Here is what he wrote, “I just got word that one of my good friends and old coworkers recently had a stroke and can hardly move his legs or talk. He used to messenger with TCB in SF then later used to ride with The Cut Cat’s here in Chicago.  

There a way to get this GFM posted to the San Fran BMA account so people can either donate or share the post?

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.
