Joe & Ed's posts caused me to think back to when there were a huge number of airlines flying in and out of SeaTac.  My parents weren't airline employees, but several of our neighbors were.  Their stories were what launched me into that career myself.  I started with Western, then we merged into Delta.  I retired before the Northwest merger, but nearly all the domestic airlines that existed in 1964 have merged into one of the big three; American, Delta, and United.  Alaska is a remarkable story as it was mostly a freight operation that flew people as well.  It's one of the few airlines that grew substantially from within with a few  mergers/acquisitions with Jet America and Virgin America.

My dad was also a mechanic for NWA. My parents were from Minnesota and we would fly back and forth on passes. Made for some interesting trips when you'd get bumped in Montana or Minot ND for a day or two waiting for empty seats. Remember flying on the Stratacuisers in Bill's picture. I didn't realize it until years after that Stratacruisers we're based on the B-29's of WWII.

Re: "Stand By Me"": Yes! It was Cassius Clay (credited now as Muhammad Ali)!!  I don't remember his doing a remake, but it wasn't bad...I found it on the internet...

Bill -- thanks for the old charts. I was surprised that Green Satin made it to no. 24, or charted at all. Of course, I'm sure it didn't anywhere else, as the Upper U Singers were local. I often saw them in Ave coffee houses: Steve Lalor, Alice Stuart and Mike Hall. Steve wrote Green Satin.
Alice Stuart did a Seattle Folklore Society concert about 15 or so years ago, and I did the sound for it. It was fun to talk to Alice about the local folk scene from back then.

Good catch, Ted. O'Day would be pleased.

Damn, Bill, I thought I had the only surviving copy of that single...amazing. They shortened their tongue-in-cheek "band name" for the record. They had come up with the name The Upper University Folk Music Association, Mandolin Society and Glee Club to satisfy people who had to know a band name. They got so sick of playing this song they changed it to Red Flannel, with some other rude lyrics which I've conveniently forgotten. 
They were one of my favourite acts from that era, I'd fallen in love with Alice when she performed at the coffee house at the World's Fair. She was an exotic older woman, I think she was 19 at the time! I told her this at the SFS concert, and she laughed her head off.

After looking at the top hits several times I realized what was wrong. Dead Mans Curve was recorded in 1963 by JAN & Dean, not "Jim & Dean". Someone missed proof reading the 1964 hits list #33 song before it was printed - LOL!

The reason that the song really became famous was two years later (1966) Jan was nearly killed in a Corvette sports car crash impact with a parked truck supposedly near the famous curve mentioned in their 1963-4 hit song.

There is something wrong with a Grand Jury. They only get information from the prosecutor. Nothing from defense. So it is SOP that they will indict.

We had one of our company presidents on a grand jury.  He was actually a bit stupid. He came back and said that the defendant was obviously guilty as hell.

It should be called the ignorant jury. Even if every juror is a very important person.

At large request:

This is an easy one.  Bob Sarver was one of the boy's PE teachers.  Who was the other one.

Thanks,   Duane

Gregg,

The Grand Jury is convened to decide if an indictment is warranted. not to convict the served defendent. We are protected by the US Constitution -- to be innocent until proven guilty. (Roman Republic law was the reverse). This will backfire on the Clinton & Obama cartels. The Biden has made a serious mistake. The Prosecutor can be tried for a misconduct felony.

 

This was called a "Show Trial" lawfare tactic in Nazi Germany. Once the Dems opened up this box of precedence they cannot close it back up for any SC Durham indictments involving former Presidents. You are watching the conversion of our Republic to a Police State and the door being widely opened to a new American Revolution in the legal system. Clif High calls this time "The Big Ugly".

Here is a podcast that connects the dots about this situation. The white hats are still in control. Watch the opening research statements from Rick's last three podcasts from the hyperlink below. All of Rick's backup research source links are listed below each podcast on Rumble. Rick is a brilliant research analyst with a military intel background (I think USAF SOF). His reports are believable. Few know The Plan revealed in the Q posts on the military servers from 2017 and on. I believe Rick was an "annon" poster  on the 4 and 8 public Internet channels during some period of time. The truth shall set us free from these long standing evils.

We are at  a milestone in the global war against tyranny. Enjoy the storm movie...stay calm, do not fear, it has a good ending, but not without some predictable social chaos.  Ref.:The Art of War by Sun Tzu.

Duane....good to see your name (and face) in the Class of '64 inbox:

Regarding your question -- my guess:

Vic Carpine and/or Robert Wendel (who also taught Driver's Ed).

How about Hugh Tice?


04/05/23 11:05 AM #1807    

 

Patrick Calkins

Yes, Bob Sarver and Robert Wendel were the PE teachers and also the gymnastics coaches. I think Tice was the wrestling coach.


04/05/23 12:26 PM #1808    

 

Bob Nicholson

Yeah, and it was Lou Tice.

Patrick Calkins

Speaking of Driver Ed, Mr Wendel, me, Mike McCarthy, and a senior named Buckingham were coming back from a gymnastic meet in Kennewick. We were stopped at a light and BAM! We were rear ended in Wendel's brand new red Chevelle convertible`~ by a drunk woman school teacher. One of those ironic things that happens. We made it back to Burien OK.

Lou Tice taught a special PE class as well. Mostly for jocks.

Al Peffley

I remember Wendell, but Vic Carpine would also sub for Sarver if he could not conduct his regular class session. Lou Tice also taught an excellent Health Sciences class and went on to found a motivation institute that was nationally known after his tenure at HHS. I remember one time that Trowbridge conducted the P.E. class when Wendel and Sarver were both out of pocket. I had Sarver for P.E. I am sure everyone remembers "the rope" tests. Bob would quickly identify candidates for gymnastics team with his gym workout routines. I was not the desired body type nor had the upper body strength at the time. My legs were my strongest limbs in high school and afterwards. I was a good water skier and a decent swimmer (once NAUI-certified in college, and a Naval Air trained puke), but not a competitive sports jock in school. Starting boat racing later in life, I would abuse my body from several driving accidents (one two-story high blow-over, and a broken rib from "stuffing it") along with a few injuries in the pits (torn left ACL & a right broken knee muniscus, torn right bicept arm muscle on an attempted loaded outboard motor manual start during the US Title Series' PRO Nationals at Depue IL). I would compare outboard boat racing to motorcyle sportbike track racing having owned and driven sportbikes on the street for years and attending AMA superbike races at Leguna Seca.

If I had known that I would live this long, I would have taken better care of my body...wink

Can't be too careful.

Al Peffley

Going along with Gregg's theme,laugh according to Biden you are free to roam about because the plandemic is officially over [even though Fauci, the bioweapon co-creator, doesn't seem to think so].
