John L.,

A gold star....yay!!!  Too bad you didn’t keep that Hoppy bank!  Interesting how things we grew up with are now considered antiques, and some are quite valuable.  I ran across some Hoppy memorabilia in an antique store a few years ago, and they were expensive!

Annee Okee  aka  Saundra,

Yep, always wanted a Hoppy bike... instead got a  pair of Hopalong six-shooters.  Shot the 'Hades' out of a couple thousand caps before them-thar shootin irons gave up the ghost back in '32....  Killed alot of bad hombres and wounded a few Injuns that fell out of trees... Now, wasn't our imagination wonderful!  How many remember cutting a branch off an Elm tree and making a bow... for shootin' home made Elm arrows?!!

John L  aka  El Juan,

My uncle(s) would agree somewhat with your uncle about Paris . My uncles walked under the Arc de Triumph, the Moulin Rogue, including the French Quarter in 1945.  But unlike your gentleman uncle who liked gay paree... mine loved women...  wink

Wild Bill aka Rex,

Too bad you wore out those six-shooters!  Bet they would be valuable now.  Looks like you got an early start practicing to become a sharp shooter!  Yes, imagination is great, and it gets its start in childhood.  We made our own fun growing up...before technology started taking over.  Maybe you can give us a demonstration of your elm bow & arrow expertise at the next Wild West show!

Fact or Ficttion:    Osteopathic Hospital on N. Kentucky----TRUE.    Too easy.  Read the sign!

Fiction:  The hospital was on North Lea.

After I posted that I kept questioning myself as to whether it was Kentucky or Lea.  I thought maybe that was why it was so easy.  I could not find any help on the internet and I'm much too far away to check the historical society.  Thanks for the correction, Don.

False: Ostepathic Hospital on Kentucky.  The Hospital was on the northeast corner of Lea and 4th Streets. In 9th grade at North Jr, I broke my foot during basketball practise. This hospital put a cast on my left foot.  If you do a Google map search, one will find the hospital demolished and a home built in its place.  "The times they are a-changin'..."  is for my favorite Tennessee ridgerunner and old drinking buddy, John L. aka  El Juan.

Place of Worship: Where Druids held séances.  Just kidding.  It was a 'non-denominational' church at Walker Air Force Base.

Osteopathic hospital aka house of pain. In the 8th grade at North, my foot was stepped on playing basketball, resulting in a ingrown toe-nail. Never having one before, I didn't do anything. Finally, it got so infected I was taken here. Due to their "beliefs" or training of which they did not use drugs, my toe was sprayed with something to make it cold and then the PROBLEM was cut out. I have never since allowed this problem to develop again!!! And have avoided osteopaths... though I do go to chiropractors occasionally now. According to my UHC insurance they are considered specialists now (like heart doctors?), though 15-20 years ago they were just quacks!!

Rex, sorry to inform you, but back in the day, GAY had other meanings than now... My uncle was (and still is) quite the lady's man...cheeky I'm serious, no gaiety meant!!!!

ps When did we get to be drinking buddies??? I forget things now in my advanced teenior years

Don Ervin

Sorry guys.  I went to the hospital before you did.  I was born there.  My doctor was L.D. Barbour.  My mother took his middle name and it became my first name.  His youngest son became one of my best friends.  Johnny.

Tennesee 'Ridgerunner' Landess,

How in the world could you forget one of your (many) drinking buddies?!!  S'pose it could be all that 'alky-haul' which killed them-thar brain cells?  You really go to a 'Broke-back' chiropractor?  Be careful... don't ever bend over to pickup your wallet if one is standing behind you.  frown

The Cyettes?   Wasn't this paticular group the Chordettes?  

Left to right:  Barbara (Bubbles) Lankford, Martha Key, Sally Woicikowfski, and Charlotte Adams

Come on Ladies!   Are you too busy making pumpkin pies...?  Ya need ta chime in more often!!  smiley

Saundra Bennett (Whiteside)

Hmmm?  I was thinking they we’re called the Chordaires???


10/27/18 04:00 PM #5116    

 

Diane Alley ((Webb))

SSaundra and all the Cyettes inclused six girls.
Martha Key, Sharon Montgo
Ery, Vicki Lorton, Sally Woicikowfski,Emily Paul, and Bubble Lankford.The group could have been different prior to our Senior year.

Saundra Bennett (Whiteside)

Thank you, Diane.  I can’t always trust my memory.  I should have looked it up!...ha

Rex Booth

Saundra,

I would agree, the  Chordaires sound more like the group of Four in this picture.  This is one of Johnny's private collections not found in our yearbooks... he's clever eh what?  The Corv-air auto came out about this time.  It makes sense to pick a cool sounding name like Chord-aires.  

Fact or Fiction:   The Cyettes.  Come on girls, give it a shot !! 

Diane,  what the heck is a cyette...?

John Landess

Rex, obviously you are confused about alky haul and brain cells. It is a well known fact that alcohol only kills the slowest and weakest brain cells, so the more you drink, the smarter you get! (Cliff Clavin)

I believe a Cyette may be a baby cyclone, something that stirs things up but doesn't do permanent damage!! kinda like them gals thar!


10/28/18 08:42 AM #5120    

 

Saundra Bennett (Whiteside)

All indications point to Cyettes being fact, but I’m going to take a chance, and go way out on a limb...& say fiction.  There.....just for the heck of it!   Ha

Saundra aka  Annee Okee,

Way to go girl!  I spoke with Charlotte this AM.  Charlotte had 'total recall' of her group's name: 'Chordaries'.

The Buffalo Theory...

Well, you see, "John L",  it’s like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it’s the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alky-haul kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.  And that, John L... is why you always feel smarter after a few beers...  

Notice Cliff said it's beer that makes you smarter... but that 'white lightnin' yer grandpappy brews up in them-thar Ten-see hills not only kills healthy brain cells, it'll cause hair to grown in the palms of yer hands and worse yet...curvature of the spine. Which why you have to go to a broke-back chiropractor...
