RUSTY STIERS' EUGENE CONTRACT COLLECTION

In the early 1970's, my father, Philip Stiers, was Secretary-Treasurer of AF of M Union Local 689 (musicians union) in Eugene Oregon. Through out my teenage years, he would give me some employment by doing janitorial odd jobs around the union hall.

One of those jobs was to keep the HUGE bank of filing cabinets clear of dead and completed contracts. Because Eugene was (and still is) a very active university town and the county seat, the musician union had many contracts for college (U of O, OSU) and county fair/rodeo concerts. In addition, the filing cabinets hadn't been sorted in over a decade.

I recall the first day on the job, I discovered a contract for country star Roy Acuff and wondered what other treasures were buried in those cabinets. I asked my Father if I could keep a few of the more well known artist contracts and he consented. This sorting and cleaning was part of my part-time job for a several years and a 'few' contracts turned into several boxes!

After my Father left the Union, I promptly forgot about the boxes of contracts. Fast forward 40 years later and while cleaning out my parents estate, I discovered the boxes in the rafters of the garage. He had kept them all these years!

And so, I've decided to move these artifacts along to true collectors who can really care for them and appreciate them.
