Viet benefit concert runs deficit in Fremont
The Viet benefit concert organized by Ohlone College veterans to aid Vietnamese war victims ended about $1,000 in the hole. Organizer Dennis Putnam blamed low attendance with only about 43 tickets sold while expenses included $1,000 rent, $25 security, $8 insurance, and other costs. Performers donated time and potential profits would have funded aid via the American Friends Service Committee. Putnam cited political overtones and hot weather as factors and hinted at a possible follow up production with Tom Hayden showing interest.
