Ice cream, ice cream, even math professors scream for ice cream!
Remember the Good Humor Man?
Jay "Dennis the Menace" North died this week. Click HERE
to see the photo I took of him at the 1962 Toyland Parade.
This elementary school teacher wishes she'd been standing when
the photo of her kids learning how to milk a cow was taken. I
hope this wasn't a "deep fake".
Speaking of "deep fakes", this is a photograph of a MODEL of a
1956 Oldsmobile. Click HERE

better take a potty break first. You're gonna be glued to your
computer for a while. Or iPhone as the case may be.

to take another look at Howard Rozelle's photos of Esquire Motors
at Euclid and El Cajon -- and the 1935 Auburn Speedster I lusted
after.
I was thoroughly entertained by John Platz ‘68 memories of
Crawford. At age 16 I got my one and only speeding ticket flying
down the 58th Street hill towards University Avenue in my 1966
Candy Apple Red Mustang. A cop with a radar gun was at the
bottom. Pop laughed and said "You were not looking out for the
cops". Mom was a bit more serious and restricted my driving until
juvenile traffic court, where the judge was satisfied with my
mom's punishment. Here’s a picture of the car on a different
hill: Lombard Street in San Francisco — Leatha McGowan Cooksy ’70
Which Crawford graduate really DID get picked last? My pal Nancy Watson Wingo often complained about being towards the end of the alphabet when the "good stuff" was being passed out. I did a little research. Frequent correspondent Wayne Zucker, for instance, didn't make the top (or bottom, if you choose) 20. Click HERE to see what I learned.
Speaking of Wayne Zucker, he forwarded the snippet above from
yesterday's UT. Mark Maisel, he said, was Class of '72 and grew
up on Remington Road.
Donald Greeno died peacefully of cancer in Farmington, New Mexico
this past October 28th. There’s more information on the Class of 1961
Obituary Page.
Stan Fluke noticed that there was nothing on the Class of 1967 Obituary Page for his pal James Bandes, who passed awy in 1979. I’ve corrected that
