    Just browsing the web for things on my Dad Jerry Gray, when I came across this info. I live in SLC now, but for years I carried a small souvenir knife (gold) with the inscription of the band and the opening at Lagoon, which I did not recognize until I moved here.

    Very interesting! Would it be possible to submit a picture of the knife? I’m sure many others who come to this website would enjoy seeing it. If so, please contact me directly by using the ‘Contact’ page:

    Thanks for your comment!
