This one took me awhile. I can't help you with the Blueberry Pie, Eyeball, or lit stick of dynamite in the hallway.
It's been a bad week for privately-sponsored space travel. Weather has delayed Elon Musk's SpaceX launch to the space station and, on Monday, Richard Branson's Virgin Orbit launch attempt was unsuccessful. Mostly this is an excuse to show a really cool photo of Virgin Orbit's 747 Cosmic Girl flying in formation with the British Red Arrow demonstration team. Click HERE if you'd like to read the Virgin Orbit story in the NY Times.
I opened up my San Diego Union Tuesday and spotted this ad for Bank of America. I spent way too much time trying to figure out where in San Diego the photo might have been taken. Then I unfolded the LA Times and spotted the photo below. That one probably wasn't taken in LA. Not much of a commitment to my way of thinking.
Tim Abbey shares a Homecoming Button from 1969
Earlier this week I shared a story from the May 1, 1970 San Diego Union touting the Crawford Jazz Band. It included photos of Steve Christy, the late Hartwell Ragsdale II, and Gunnar Biggs. Peter Thompson '65 reminds me that Gunnar is still making music, and has a web site. Click HERE to check it out.
In 1994 Larry Okmin '64 received the above photo in the mail. It shows Mr. Sanford's class -- including Larry and best pal Dale Saare -- on the steps at Horace Mann. Click HERE to read the interesting back story, and to see the photo enlarged. It was taken in 1958 -- or maybe 1959.
I found this item in Frank Rhoades' column in the May 4, 1963 San Diego Union. I wonder how the three Class of '65 members made out.
