Board of Regents

Stage Door Inn, Topeka & Harry

The Board of Regents at The Stage Door Inn in early 1972.

L-R: Bryan Hill, Greg Tripple, Richard Lamb, Chris Church, Brad Barrett, Ron Hamilton and Gary Hamlin. Steve House often sat in on sax and flute. Steve Downey took over on guitar near the end when Gary decided to devote all his energy to running the club.

The Stage Door was one of the hottest college bars in town.

Probably the most significant reasons for Legion's genesis was a LONG string of bounced checks (usually to cover previous bounced checks)!
