WOW!!! What a find even if it was truly the Beginning it was still a find.

Virginia Wolfe (Scheffer)

Bill, is that your treasure?  Yes, WOW!

Bill Engelhardt

No....but still have some of these. Does that count? 

Virginia Wolfe (Scheffer)

Ohhh funny, but the inserts can count for a bit of nostalgia. 

Ed Hesner

Hey, Bill,

I still have a bunch of the records those things go in!

Bill Engelhardt

Reputed to be the first 45 rpm, released in March 1949. 

Linda Pompeo (Worden)

We have a jukebox and quite a few collected 45's, but don't remember seeing this one. Looks like it sells for $59.95 today.  

Bill Engelhardt

Tell ya what, Linda, send me your mailing address (privately) and I'll add to your collection my mint condition copy of Come Go With Me (Jan. 1957). It deserves to be on a juke box.

Karen Buck (White)

How nice and thoughtful of you!!!

Bill Engelhardt

Sidebar: My 65-cent Farmer Music copy of Come Go With Me shows the name of the group as The Dell-Vikings. In subsequent albums, it's Del Vikings. 

Anyway, to Linda: Glad to hear you have a slot for it on the Worden Wurlitzer.

It is snowing in New Orleans. This global warming is pretty intense.

Also, 32 deg here in Hernando Beach, Florida.  Yuck!  We left the NW for warm weather.  The cold and rain is haunting us!

Bob Nicholson

Yeah, 15 degress in the Florida panahandle and 5 to 6 inches of snow on the ground. New record! Breaks the old record of 3 inches in 1958.

Meantime, back in the Northwest.....sunny, a balmy 41 in Olympia, with a predicted low of 26 Friday and Saturday.

Looks like we'll be painting potatoes for Easter....

Karen Buck (White)

Life has certainly changed since we were kids!!!

Bill Engelhardt

Things are getting serious....

I tell my little feathered ladies every day how happy I am when I find eggs in the nesting boxes; although  this weather isn't helping much on egg production.

What a thoughtful guy, now if he would just cook them too!  Happy Valentines to everyone!

A quick look back at old Seattle. 

The iconic, statuesque Orpheum Theater at 5th & Stewart. Opened in 1927, fell to the wrecking ball in 1967, replaced by the Washington Plaza Hotel in 1969.

Fun to see the old ads... I am not familiar with these events but I do remember going to Charm School at a department store in Ohio.  Not sure it helped much...
