In Memory of

Richard "Pudge" Bolin
Dan Bresmeister
Kurt David Hansen

I was in Bozeman, Montana in '79-'80.  Lion played there and were touring the NW at that time.

Richard "Pudge" Bolin schlepped gear on our midwest tour in 85 before the band broke up.  Pudge was a friend of mine and the brother of the late great Tommy Bolin.  I can't really remember him doing anything... but he had some great stories, and I will always remember his comment as we were pulling into Chicago in the early winter of '85.  We had just passed a Illinois State lottery sign telling us the jackpot was way into the millions. He came out of the coma he was in, read the sign and said."If I won that, I'd buy this band and fire Wakefield".  Jarry Lakamp and I almost put our 24' truck in the ditch laughing.
