Debbie Baratz looking for Beth Kurtz

A friend and I have been wondering for a long time about Beth Kurtz, who was one of the original founders of the Utopia Times. She lived in Upper Darby, PA, and we met in the late 70s (maybe) or 1980 and we had a smallish gathering of Todd and Utopia fans in '80 or '81 in a park in Philly. Ruth Rundgren was there, and a number of fans. I have some copies of photos from the gathering, which we called the "first-ever Utopia Convention". This included a large banner that a couple of us hand-painted, and we hung it on the bridge in that park. The banner said "True Star Productions, Bringing Together Your Adventures in Utopia". I have photos, or actually copies of the photos. I was one of the people who helped organize the gathering, along with others. I also made "True Star Productions" t-shirts.

We posted some of these photos on Facebook several years ago, but didn't get any response. There is a picture of what Beth looked like in those days, and myself as well. I know who took some of the photos, but we were not really friends so I don't know if should mention her name here.

I hope someone can help!
