Searching for Woodstock '69 Veterans
Joanne
Do you know that the Woodstock site is eligible for the National
Register? Do you know about the plans, already underway, towards the
development of that site, and are you aware of the efforts that pursued
the preservation of those 38 acres.
My name is Joanne Hague, and I was a leader in those efforts. We,
preservationists, just short of having our concerns heard at the
Federal level, were able to see a 90 percent downsizing of the Bethel
Woods project.
Through our website - Woodstock - Preservation Archives
(http://www.woodstock preservation.org), we have made it possible for
students working on projects or essays, to correspond with Woodstock
Veterans - not only answer questions but to share their experiences. .
I am seeking out anyone who attended the Woodstock Festival in 1969 -
or anyone else who has extensive knowledge of that event - people who
would be interested in becoming a "Woodstock Historian". I'm
hoping that the more people involved, the better all around viewpoint
that can be shared with those interested in your history. It will be
our way of continuing the Woodstock Legacy for future generations.

Thanks,
Joanne
