old times there are not forgotten
by Jerald Head 13 Sep '14

13 Sep '14

So I was going through my dvr list tonight as I was catching up on this weeks recordings, when I stopped on the recordings of "The Colbert Report." I was scanning down the list and saw one of the interviews was with Lonn Taylor, a historian from Texas, regarding the origins of the "Star Spangled Banner," and the flag over Ft McHenry. I thought surely this could not be the same Lonn Taylor who with his wife were at some of the early days at Winedale. Particularly I remember him there in my fall class of 1973 and then in the summers following. There are so few of us from left that era, much less who would be on The Colbert Report. But indeed it was the same guy. At this time I cannot remember what his role was in Winedale and its history but for sure it was one and the same man. His voice had the same tone and accent. I hate to say it, but I was surprised to see him among the living, much less on national television. I think very few of us would remember him, but seeing the video, will doubtlessly trigger some memory. http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/videos/ndpng7/lonn-taylor Jerald

Istanbul and Aberystwyth
by Mike Godwin 29 Aug '14

29 Aug '14

Folks, I'm off today to Istanbul for a week (Internet Governance Forum). After that, possibly with a short break back in the USA, I'll be in Wales for a conference at Aberystwyth University in Wales. I shall spend some trying to learn how to pronounce Aberystwyth. So turnaround time on list requests and other things may be slower than usual -- David Ziegler, I know, will do his best to fill the gaps. If I'm lucky, I may get to spend some time in the UK prior to the Wales conference. --Mike

Re: [Winedale-l] Seems likely that Richard III would have died young one way or another

Similarly, Alexander the Great died of such over indulgence. Good riddance to bad trash.

Re: [Winedale-l] Nixon

I was seven. I was just glad that the whole dismal affair was over because Senate hearings pre-empted the Jerry Lewis movie on Saturday afternoons.

Perseid meteor shower plus Supermoon
by Mike Godwin 11 Aug '14

11 Aug '14

So many of us have had the experience of watching the Perseid meteor shower at Winedale, sometimes on top of the barn. Today's Google "doodle" (an animation at the Google.com home page) reminded me of this, so I thought I'd send all of you to the animation if you haven't seen it yet. And it reminds me to look at our Supermoon tonight as well. Best, --Mike

Re: [Winedale-l] Nixon

My guess is that awareness among the sumer '74 class of how things were accelerating in late July and August of 1974 was perhaps pretty dim. That year the class was six weeks long, if I remember the S-at-W timeline correctly. In any case, the big events that led to resignation were in the last week or so of July -- they included the Supreme Court's decision that Nixon must release the tapes, followed by the House's decision to proceed to impeachment . Woodward and Bernstein, among many others, documented that Nixon quickly assessed that the Senate would likely convict him on one or more of the charges. (He even queried his allies whether it would be tenable to stay on if he carried only 10 votes for acquittal in the Senate; his allies indicated that this would not be a good idea.) In any case, they took place when the Summer '74 class was thinking hardest about performances. Here's the timeline: http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/08/08/how-the-watergate-crisis-er… I can easily imagine that someone who was at Winedale in summer 1974 may remember it differently, just because "there is no clock in the forest." I know that I have a dim memory that the summer 2005 reunion class somehow coincided with Hurricane Katrina, although checking the calendar suggests to me that this was not true. So I too can testify that Winedale for me has always been a place out of time. As it happens, your reporter participated in a Congressional staff briefing yesterday in the Rayburn House Office Building, perhaps in the same committee room where the vote to impeach President Nixon took place.
