My wife and I were there. I have more memories  than I could think about typing. I started at the  Catacombs, lived at Middle Earth and vaguely  remember a head shop on W P’tree at 14th…I  think. That would have been ’66 or ’67. It seems  like the strip started when Atlantis Rising got  established…the place to be. I lived all around the park. By ’68 I was living at “The River  House” up on the ‘Hooche. Brought Renée, my wife,  up from FL in June of ’69. We were married  07/07/69 at the “Free Concert” in the park after  the 1st Atl POP. I got popped in early ’70, which removed me from the scene, but didn’t kill the  memories. Sadly, only 2 pictures have lasted as  long as my marriage.  Bob Oldsroyd, red headed Bob, was always taking pictures. Has he turned up?

 Schroeder & Renée

[When Schroder was arrested the headlines named him ‘Acid King of the SouthEast’.  We were lucky enough to get an interview with Schroder. Due to double jeopardy, he was able to talk openly. He and Renee had a great hippie love story. Married before the Grateful Dead played Piedmont Park, they remained in love until his death in 2011. Listen to his interview.]
