Bill Narum and Hank Alrich, taken Feb. of '08
Here is a picture of two heroes of my Armadillo MemNoir, Bill Narum and Hank Alrich, taken Feb. of ‘08.
There will be a Tribute Supper at Threadgill’s old number one on North Lamar, toasting Bill and his influence on our lives, Saturday, 28, November 2009, beginning at 6 P.M.
Bill’s friend, Doug LaRue of Glaze Studio, will show a video interview he shot of Bill hanging décor in the remodeled Threadgill’s on Lamar, in March of ‘08. We will swap our favorite personal stories of Bill. Bill brought Doug into my life, as he did so many other of my most talented friends.
The Upstairs Store behind Threadgill’s was created by Bill over the past 25 years. It will be opened for a tour after the tribute.
Proceeds from Saturday’s supper will fund a memorial fund. Please bring pictures and stories to swap. Tell anyone who might want to attend or contribute. This is very short notice, but hey, who’d of thought…
