As a very young teenager in the 60's, I remember him announcing the bands and hippie news at the Avalon Ballroom and walking around Haight Ashbury just being an icon of a lovely time in San Francisco's history. He was a pioneer and a gentle man, attempting tohelp lead many of us into an age of innocent idealism that never quite came into fruition. God bless you forever, Chet.
