We hope you spend many hours enjoying our site. We also encourage you to donate any images, stories or documents that pertain to our subjects. If you have any old beer or soda cans, bottles or old magazines... We would LOVE to have them to add to our archive!

  We have a vast amount of on-line and off-line images and historical information, yet we don't charge anyone to access it.

  Why become a contributor? Because we need your HELP! Running this website is a labor of love but it's not cheap. 

  OUR OWNER/DEVELOPER AND NOSTALGIAVILLE EXPLORER, PAUL BATES, PASSED AWAY IN DECEMBER OF 2009 AND THE WEBSITE IS IN A TRUST WITH THE LAWYERS. 

AT THIS TIME, THE PAUL W. BATES FAMILY FUND IS KEEPING HIS MEMORY ALIVE ON THE INTERNET THROUGH THIS WEBSITE. THERE WAS SO MUCH LOVE & EFFORT PUT INTO THE DEVELOPMENT OF GONO.COM . ALL THE IMAGES AND INFORMATION ARE FREE TO ANY ONE THAT WANTS TO VIEW THEM. 

WE WOULD GLADLY ACCEPT DONATIONS TO THE ESTATE OF THE PAUL W. BATES FAMILY FUND, TO HELP IN MAINTAINING HIS ONLINE LEGACY. 

There is still so much still left to do,

    T Bates
