Gary Williams - (USA) - (main press photographer of Mar y Sol, ex-photographer of "El Nuevo Dia")

I remember the Mar Y Sol weekend very well, since I was wearing many hats that week. I was working for El Nuevo Dia, AP UPI Time Magazine. I also worked for the concert promoters to take care the world press. I was also the one who got the concert restarted, after an injunction came down Good Thursday. I called the Gove Ferré who was out of town for Easter week, and he agreed to let it go forward and lift the
injunction. Not many people now that one.

It was the 1st and last time I ever worked as a Press Type Or Flack, as I always call them. It was a great 3 weeks, some of my better ones. I used a El Camino carrying my motorcycle to move on to the site , so I could leave at will. It proved very useful getting the photo back to San Juan. Missed a lot of the music the second night, since I had to work on a boxing match in San Juan, pulled into Vega Baja around 3am. I did manage to shoot some people photos of Mar Y Sol but not many. I remember images in El Nuevo Dia of the people living on the beach and bathing nude in the cow watering area.
