Life on the edge

THROWBACK THAT TIE
Just above the horizon it looked like a special effect.
As it continued its rise it began to get smaller.
A couple of observations about this 1967 radio promotion photo. This was a benefit and the queen and her court are "pinning" us. Note that all of the "pin-ees", even the chairman of the health association are looking at the camera, except yours truly who seems more taken by the princess.

The WERK KREW jocks, Big Joe London, Wild Bill Shirk, "Mr. Show Biz" Gil Hole and Tommy the C. Yea, it was an age for nicknames too.

As it continued its rise it began to get smaller.
See you down the trail.
Knowing how tall you are, Big Joe would appear to be over 7 feet tall! Was he?
ReplyDeleteBig Joe was indeed big. 7 ft+. Great fellow. He and I drove a VW fastback back from NJ in 69. His knees were as high as the steering wheel.
