Laura Rivest Fontaine


Meet Laura Rivest Fontaine from Keene, New Hampshire.

I have been an America fan since 1976. My neighbor turned me on to their first album. I went out and bought them all. I have kept up with them as part of my collection since. I saw my first concert in 1977. I have seen them at least 30 times now. I finally got to meet them along with Gerry's son Matthew at a concert they played with Three Dog Night in 1988. WHAT A THRILL! I have gotten to speak to them a few times now. I brought a program that I got at a concert in 1978 to a recent show and was privileged to have all members sign their pictures.

I have loved them for so long. Even people who I meet from high school remember that about me. It's a part of who I am. I am so happy to know that others share my passion. There is something about their music that gives me a homey feeling. My children love them too. What an inviting sound they have. Thank you for creating a place for America fans to go to share their feelings with one another.

Feel free to send your comments or questions to Laura.
