I don't know if you remember me, John Moyer's sister. I often wondered about what all his band members were doing so I looked up Carol Vega and I am in shock to find so many photos of my brother and his name mentioned. If only he were alive and my mom to enjoy this. Thank you and the rest of the band for putting pictures of him on the net. OMG! I was in such shock to see his handsome face, I cried for hours. I miss him so much and have been through so much Hell in my life. John Committed suicide in 1983 down here in Naples FL where I live alone. I wish to God John had stayed with you guys. All of you have gone so far and I am so proud of all of you. He got into a black band who were so deep into drugs. Please don't think I am prejudiced against black people. John had his own choices. In 1970s he did live with his black girl friend who shot him point blank in the stomach and I pulled him through that but it was the beginning of his spiral down into drugs dealing with the physical and mental pain.
I lost my mom in 2004, in 2005 the hospital here let my son Norman's brain burn up with fever and he has lived in a mental hospital 350 miles from me for going on 5 years now. I travel up to see him every two weeks and it is so exhausting, heart breaking and depressing. I fall asleep at the wheel sometimes and I am afraid some day I will get killed in an accident. I am trying to get him into a nursing home here in Naples but I can't afford private pay places so I have to wait and pray for a Medicaid bed. It is a nightmare. do you remember my son? His name is Norman Paul Kahle. I never realized that your name is Norman Paul.
I will try to get in touch with other past members of the group but if I can't please pass on the update on John and give all of them my love.
I used to date Tom Dreesen the comedian from Illinois but he no longer speaks to me now tht he is famous. He did come down here to visit and gave me his e-mail address but he failed to tell me that he had a girl friend and that she would get the e-mail so I caused some friction between them. Oops! If he had been honest with me I would have been careful with what I said. I really hated to lose his friendship. He was very special and with all the mental pain I have been through it is just another thing for me to try to deal with and it is hard having no friends or family. I hope you get to read this and will stay in touch as well as the rest of the group. I want to get in touch with Carol too. I sent a copy of this to Ron Laas |

| Paul, I have been a long time Poco fan! I am looking at the Jones Beach show from last August! I am going to look at your site, and see when you might be performing again. Is there going to be a time when you will do a Poco show again? |

Dear Paul,
I am collecting stories for a book about the Wadena Rock Festival, which was held in Northeast Iowa July 31 - Aug. 2, 1970 after the rock fest was banned by the court in Galena, Illinois. Illinois Speed Press and Poco appeared at Wadena.
I am writing to request a telephone interview. The book will highlight the personal experiences and observations from the Wadena Rock Festival. I would also be interested in your group's experiences during that period and how the band's performances at rock festivals in the Midwest impacted your careers.
If you would be interested in discussing the Wadena project, please let me know, and I will be happy to give you a call.
Here are stories from today's Des Moines Register about Wadena:
