I remember Lonn - Doc will know for sure, but wasn't he a sort of "curator" of the place? He lived right across the road, and had an office on the property, I believe. Whether or not it was really his office, it had an engraving of an armadillo mating dance on the wall. I chanced to see just that thing happening one night, and was confused about what I had seen until I looked at the etching. (They were running toward each other and colliding mid-air, not doing the obvious.)
How great that he was with Colbert!

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.
