I find it amazing that, though Bear was an integral and influential (on many levels) part of such a highly-photographed scene, this is only the 4th of 5th shot of him I've ever seen.
Thanks, Phillip.

Yes - you can see Billy & Phil between the chick & the bearded dude, and quite possibly Jer over Bear's right shoulder.

Thanks.  That has to be Jerry.  I didn't notice him there at first.

Bear was very photo resistant.

The Morris Museum had a Jay Blakesberg show during 2022. I used my phone to take a snap of his portrait of Owsley. The information read “Owsley Stanley III – June 3, 1999 – Grateful Dead Head Headquarters-Novato, Ca.”

I was introduced to "Bear" by a band member at I gig that I was playing bass at many decades ago in La Honda ,CA.
As well  two friends of Ken Kesey were present who later invited me the the Kesey House later on . Bear did not attend at that time and Ken was in Oregon at the time .
