1973 - Just Before the Rapture =)

Great memories! Gas lines were wrapped to kingdom come. We'd arrive at 5:00AM , play guitar, shoot the breeze, with hopes of adding a little petrol to our gas guzzling machines. The Middle East was a chaotic mess with one skirmish after another ... Watergate was in full swing and Tricky Dick was soon to resign under duress...it wouldn't be long Lindsey told us, the end of the world was clearly near. Surely this was it. All the signs were in place. Thirty six years later... =)

I can't recall the names of everyone but I'll mention a few. George Davis, Gary Campbell (his sailboat), Gordon Weber, David Campbell, Jimmy Taylor, Bill Ferguson...Gosh, those were some great times. We had such good friends. Blessings to all!

Chuck,

This was great. My only disappointment was that I didn't see Carol or me. But good to see all of you. Who was filming? I think the girl who jumps into the pool at 7:40, is Pat Norris. Do you remember when this was? Carol and I got married in March of '73, and I remember the gas lines. That's how we could go to Disney on our honeymoon and not fight the lines. Also, do you remember that we worked together, maybe for a summer, at Causeway Lumber? When was that? Also, I had lunch with Al Barth yesterday. He is still working with Redeemer, NYC, but living in Boca. Tom
