Sorry, just saw the post was fixed. Just ignore. I was able to get plenty of his pictures (as well as signature).
 
Jim Berrett
Most of Jim Berrett's pots were slip cast. He had many molds and many of them he made himself from other pots he cast negatives of in plaster. This is a rare hand made accent pot with turned lip and riveted feet. Some other pots by Jim.

Kit Boheme
A So. Cal. potter long retired. Made many saikai and suibans for stones in large sizes very thin and without warping. Edit: I should mention that those ugly wavy dishes were made in the 60's when she first started. I have been offered money for these. They are considered mid-century- modern.

Big Dave Rochester (returned to the clay)
Awesome friend, lived in San Diego, constantly wanted me to do a workshop every year but could never work out the details with my job and the days I would need to be off. Tree grower and some time potter, pots very rare.

Sometimes he would just sign them with a sharpie..like the the big guys in Hollywood do. He was a big guy too.

Jim Gremel's signature I am sure is all over the place, but many of his weird pots are not. Back in the old days he didn't sign anything.

These are two special ones. Unsigned, but very nice pots. The scoop is semi shohin sized and the clay rings so loud you can use it as a dinner bell.

Shohin sized also.

I have boxes of pots in the garage in the rafters, I guess I will have to get them down and look in them. I know there is a special Jim Gremel saikai pot in sky blue that he made me about 10 years ago. You should see this pot, it is incredible.

Al, thank you so much for these pictures. They are going to be very, very helpful to me. I'm happy to take any more you have, but what you've provided is very generous.
