I think they have a Reunion at the Ballroom every year at anniversary time and a bunch of us have always threatened to go but never have.

I grew up not too far from there. A high school buddy (no pun intended) of mine lives just a couple blocks off "Buddy Holly Dr." Even though we lived in the area for 20+ years, I've only been to the Surf for 2 concerts. We went to see R.E.O. Speed Wagon and then many years later to hear a local band I don't even remember the name of.
Since my folks have passed away we don't get by there much any more. When we do I usually take a left turn to see Chuck and don't go by the ballroom. Hasn't changed much anyway. I have a pic. of the monument to Buddy, Richie & the big Bopper just outside the ballroom entrance & a pic. of the Buddy Holly street sign. They are buried somewhere in the corner of a closet or......?

Feb. 3, 1959, about 7 in the morning as I was getting ready to head off to school, I was a Sophmore in high school, word came over the radio that Buddy, Ritchie, and the Bopper had been killed in a plane crash. I remember it as if it was yesterday. A sad day at school for sure. The "music" will never die.Ken Thomas

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
