My name is
THOMAS  VANGHELE
First Generation & PASSIONATE Fan of

AND  PROPRIETOR  OF

     

Along with many of you my very first recollection of The Beatles
 came upon a cold February night in 1964 - Sunday the 9th - to be precise -
watching with glee on a black-and-white Admiral television.
Gene Simmons of the rock group Kiss puts in beautifully :
"I remember watching.
It was as poignant a moment as when
the monolith appeared in front of those apes in
the movie '2001 : A Space Odyssey'.
 It changed my sense of being."

There I am,  holding my latest prized possession,
the newly released Lp "BEATLES' 65 "  (Mono, of course) -
on Christmas morning 25 December 1964.
I had just broken the Seal on the LP,
and my brother Alex is ready on his new "kit".
In a few moments, the first track "No Reply"
blared out on that phonograph just behind me.
eight months later in the summer of 1965, I was one
of the fortunate ones to see The beatles live at the
infamous concert at Shea Stadium, 15 August 1965 .

I HAD THE HONOR AND PRIVILEGE TO MEET AND SPEND SOME TIME WITH
YOKO ONO LENNON :

HERE WE ARE IN FRONT OF " THE DAKOTA "
ON 72ND STREET & CENTRAL PARK WEST,
THE HOME SHE SHARED WITH JOHN AND SEAN . . . . AND WHERE TRAGEDY OCCURRED.

MY COUSIN CARA (HUGE BEATLES FAN) IS PICTURED WITH US.
ONCE THE PHOTO WAS DEVELOPED, I SENT THE PHOTO TO YOKO -
AND SHE WAS KIND ENOUGH TO SIGN IT AND MAIL IT BACK !! HOW GREAT IS SHE ??

MY HEARTFELT THANKS TO THOSE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED
TO THE SUCCESS OF OUR BUSINESS :

MY DARLING WIFE, JANICE


WHOSE LOVE, INSPIRATION & BELIEF - HAS ILLUMINATED
THIS PATH TO GROWTH, SUCCESS, & CONTENTMENT.

And To My Respected Colleagues
