tbalutis,
That's a decent guess, given the Janis Joplin connection, but that ain't him. It's Country Joe McDonald (minus the Fish). Country Joe was teaching a songwriting course at the Fur Peace Ranch on this particular weekend, plus he did a concert there that was very well attended--remarkably so, given how remote the location is. And, of course, he led us all in a round of the Fish Cheer, for old times sake. I took an intermediate electric guitar course that weekend, with instructor G.E. Smith who was the lead guitarist and director of the Saturday Night Live Band for many years. As I think about it, I'm overdue for another Fur Peace weekend! Rick |

Well, I have to admit that I never would have guessed that the photo was Country Joe nor would I have guessed that he was as close to Janis as is reputed. I apologize for hijacking the thread, but this was a very interesting tangent, I must say!

Rick, somehow I missed your radar comment! Sorry.
Some of my heroes included Commodore Gilespie, and Admiral Paddon. My Father is now one too. As my Father used to say, Too soon old. Too late smart. Dave

That's great (not to mention overdue)! I don't suppose you took any pictures on your day trips… (hint, hint)? I'm now about halfway through your Dad's book, and it's fascinating. I've learned a lot about wartime life in the British Navy, including a few things that I've long wondered about. For example, when a battleship, destroyer, or cruiser fires its mammoth long-range guns, doesn't the rolling of the ship throw off the trajectory of the shells? Answer (per Mack): The electrical circuit to fire the shells would not be complete until the ship rolled to exactly horizontal, at which point a mercury switch would connect, thereby completing the circuit anywhere from 1 to 8 or 9 seconds after the gunnery team had pushed the button to fire!

Sounds like you've been around Ohio quite a bit! I'm glad my report brought back some good memories--although hiking around Hocking Hills in the wintertime might be a bit challenging. Rick |

Rick it makes me feel very happy you're reading MacK's book.
I remember my Father going to sea for a year, twice whenI was very young. Korean War...H.M.C.S. Magnificent, an aircraft carrier. Very small by U.S. standards. Scary watching the crew cast off. I was 4? I think. My Father told me I was "Man of the family" until he returned. I knew about war, and people died sometimes. His nickname came from one middle name, MacKinnon, that I share. Photos? I'll look.

Rick, another passion of mine. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/cana...ne-21-8pm.html
post 19 is the start. Stan tok the photos. Algernon Thomas was my grade 10 history teacher. He Hada '58 Vette. Finally, my Wife bought a Ruby. A 40th Anniversary Special Vette. Perfect. Loved it. Fast forward. Had a health scare. My wife traded an almost new Z4M Roadster for a used Victory Red '06 Coupe, Z51, HUD, 6-speed. Same model year From a Cdn G M dealer. US car. Surprised me! We had met this group of confirmed gear heads. Smook (RIP), Stan, Mike, Pierre and others. Doesn't matter what you drive. We had the M roadster when we first showed up... Warm welcome from Stan years later. The CTS wagon is mine. The short heavy guy is me. I'll get another Vette ...a 'vert.

Legendary Motor Cars We visited with Wil from Denver, with his Wife, my Sister-In-Law. Some time ago he had a Shelby Mustang (when they were new!), and before that a Corvair with a Corvette engine within. Many, many other wonderful cars. Super 7....and the list goes on.
