The American Museum of the Moving Image web site The Living Room Candidate hosts a fascinating collection of television derived political ads from 1952 - 2004. Take your pick, from both sides of the spectrum. My interest is in the power of media to drive opinion, and how it's created. See if, by clicking on the thumbnails, you can guess the year the bridge from b&w to color tv was crossed.

Check the preview for the 2000 half-reunion in the PDF Reunion Times, published in 2000 and put together from the '95 event flix. You'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader (free).

We've also posted a FREE! cocoahigh65.com souvenir post card. Encountered on the road out of town after the '00 event, you'll want to send this to all your friends up north. Just a little west of Lone Cabbage - apparently Aunt Martha's brakes didn't quite catch hold in time - and way too appetizing to pass by unrecorded.

July 20, 1969
How time flies. July 20th, 2004 - the day after our official launch - was the 35th anniversary of 1969's Apollo 11 and astronaut Neil Armstrong's first walk on the moon! We were gathered with friends in Gainesville around a b&w portable, listening to Walter Cronkite's broadcast of the event on CBS.

Rickey (Johnston) Wallace provided the latest Page One Pix from Memory Lane. Call the paper! Introvert Joan finally emerges from her shell, while Gray models the latest in the hip new fad, “two-piece” swimwear, channeling Cher before there was a Cher! Shocking!

L to R; Carol Bertram, Gray Ringo, Jane Ross, Betsy Currier, Linda Kobylarski, Jo Martin, Rickey Johnston, Beth Butler, Sue Storm, and Joan Realino on the ground — and, of course, Topsy the Wonder Dog, taken in Rickey's front yard. Rickey thinks it must have been 1964, our junior year. Thanks for the great shots!

Back row: Bobby Husby, unknown (but will research and update if successful: ed.), John Siebenthaler (hairline's familiar, profile's not), front row, Sally Chamberlain (if I remember correctly). Editor: Anyone recall if this was a road trip to Sanlando Springs? Notice the latest in cooler technology - genuine, insulating, metal.

update: consensus seems to be the location is Rock Springs. More detail when if it's received.

1/25/05 web update: although he's the last person anyone would have picked for archivist, Rick Shotwell id'd the mystery scowler as Perry Garst, sporting the latest in high-tech flatop hair cuttery. Thanks Rick.

Normally I can cruise right by the hapless opossum, the luckless armadillo, the too brazen raccoon, but it's pretty darn hard to miss a "What's This? An Eight Foot Gator!" laying half out in the highway.

August, 2004: Here's the latest news from the Reunion Committee's plans for the 40th celebration, set for June, 2005! We're less than a year away, so if you've got an opinion here's where you can be heard.

I dunno', I guess I'm just a sucker for tube-topped, dancehall elephant freaks. Like peanut butter snack bars? You can play, and replay, Skippy's homage to computer generated elephants here. (It's a six-meg download, so if you're using a dial-up connection, it could take 30 minutes or more to retrieve.)
