While playing a private party at the Hard Rock Café in Manhattan, Diethelm meets John Fogerty. Seeing the 1969 Creedence Clearwater Revival album “Green River” under the Christmas tree is one of his first childhood memories. He tells Fogerty that his older brother, Joe Diethelm ’81, learned to play guitar from that album. Fogerty’s reply: “Me, too.”
