That would be the guy with no head.  I understand the lady Praying Mantis devours her boyfriend after sex.

Phyllis Schwartz '72 has a new book out, Mom Wombat Says Make War No More.  It's an anti-bullying story and October is Bullying Prevention Month.  Click HERE to check it out on Amazon.

Even though it's in El Cajon, I suspect a lot of Crawford folks have memories of Parkway Bowl and Art's Roaring '20s.  Click HERE for a larger image -- and an interior shot.

You know I'm a sucker for color shots of '50s cars -- and hot babes!  This Vintage San Diego shot was taken in April 1957.  That's Convair Plant 2 in the background.  Click HERE for an enlargement, a little history of Plant 2, and a current Google Street View.

Last week we mentioned that Jim Dyke '66 and Danna Patterson Dyke '68 eventually married after meeting at a 1969 performance of The Boy Friend.  Stephen Bishop and Marley Days were also in the performance.  We all know that Stephen Bishop went on to musical success.  Some folks thought Marley Days had what it took to succeed as well.  All I learned from a Google search, was that a festival occurs every February in San Francisco called Marley Days.  It honors reggae legend Bob Marley.

A nice color postcard of Monte Hall crossed my computer desktop this week.  Click HERE to revisit the Monte Hall page.

A Belated Passing

He served as the Church's Vicar of Ecumenical and Interfaith Affairs and oversaw the development of new parish communities in the midwest. He was consecrated a bishop of the Church by the Most Rev. Phillip Zimmerman, the Presiding Archbishop of the Reformed Catholic Church, in 2006. In addition to his church work, he was employed as a computer consultant by Hart & Cooley in Holland, Michigan. In addition to his wife, he is survived by a son Gerrit Posthumus, his wife Tamera of Grand Rapids; brothers Bruce Posthumus ’66 of Wyoming and Hal Posthumus ’62 of California; and a sister, Mary Posthumus VanKampen ’59 of Colorado.
