Nice Try? I thought it said Nice Fry!! Oh, well -- never mind. Turns out it's some sort of a podcast if you want to look it up on Google.
Wanna watch 2 1/2 minutes of streetcar video taken in 1942? Click
HERE. This is a pitch for donations to a museum in Northern California which is apparently restoring one of the streetcars featured in the video. I believe the above shot looks north on 30th Street at Adams, which I think was the beginning of the #2 streetcar line. You may also recognize the #2 crossing the old 30th Street bridge over Switzer Canyon in the video, as well as the #7 crossing the Georgia Street bridge by the zoo.
It's been a slow week in Crawfordville. I'm posting the color photos from the 1970 Centaur as a consolation prize for the folks who'd planned to attend their 50-year Reunion next month. It's been postponed until August 2021. That's Homecoming Queen Linda Austin smiling at you above. Click
HERE to see the other photos.
As I said, it's been a slow week. Here's my job sheet from Metal Shop with Mr. Nelson at Horace Mann in 1958. I can picture each of these projects. I think the hammer was a tiny trinket. My Mom pretended that the sugar scoop was the best thing ever. Remember ash trays? Click

Stephanie Steel Johnson ’74 died July 15, 2020. She didn’t want things from people. She wanted things FOR people. She lived by the mantra “think of others." Few who knew her were untouched by her generosity, her selflessness, and her grace in supporting those around her. She would not hesitate to take the more difficult of two paths if it meant doing the right thing. Her robust character and boundless spirit make saying this all the more difficult. Please understand: if you were in her life, she loved you. There was no other way with her. Nothing short of love. It was her wish that those who loved her in kind would think long and hard about one aspect of her experience that they valued and then seek to emulate that in their own lives. In this way, we keep her close and honor her still. It is important to note that Stephanie long cherished the idea of “day clean.” A concept borrowed from the Gullah culture of South Carolina, “day clean” evokes the sense that each dawn brings a fresh start complete with renewed energy and the bright assurance that there is good work being done. Stephanie believed in the greater “day clean” that awaited her. So too would she expect us to remember that each day is a fresh opportunity to think of others.
