We were watching Colbert last night and I told Christie that I had seen him at Winedale and she did not believe me - so thank you all for convincing my wife that I am only slightly crazy!

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.
