61. Commercials, Jingles, and Tag Lines
September 17, 2013
I remember when living on the west coast a few decades ago an upstart company with a new concept called cable-TV tried to break into the television market. It got zero traction. Zip. Nada. The over-the-air TV stations and the local politicians put the kibosh on the attempt. Five years or so later, a...

62. 20th Century American Voice (Concluded)
September 05, 2013
This is the conclusion of a class assignment interview conducted by a 26-year-old graduate student (Kahuna) of an 80-year-old retired engineer (Fuzz). The interview was conducted in 1996 for a Life History Project. The subject of the interview passed away nine years later. As you’ll recall, I stumbl...

64. 20th Century American Voice
September 01, 2013
By chance I recently came across an interview of a man who left this dimension three days after Christmas 2005. The interview was conducted in 1996 by a graduate student to fulfill a college requirement to contrast differences, positive and negative, from the World War II generation to his own; the ...

66. Making Moonshine at Sigma Mu Sigma
August 14, 2013
Last November I wrote a Thanksgiving article, which was mainly about a successful turkey rustling mission masterminded by a fraternity brother back-in-the-day. I referred to Fred Jackson, Schenectady’s answer to James Dean, as Agent 702 because of 1) the colorful life he led in college—the guy was a...

67. Headaches
August 10, 2013
In the fall of my college freshman year I was among the original occupants of a new dormitory. Everything was pristine including furnishings, fixtures, and recreation room equipment. Within a half hour of settling into my room and wandering to the rec room, an angular, blond, crew-cut fellow from St...

68. Conservatives, Liberals, and Progressives; Oh My!
August 05, 2013
We human beings are by nature a divisive lot, and Americans being a collection of the rest of the world’s castoffs, rascals, and ne’er-do-wells, are among the most discordant of all. Look at it this way; none of us is here because things were going well for our forbearers in the “old country”. I am ...

70. Fountain of Youth
July 19, 2013
Since Ponce de Leon’s final ill fated journey to Florida, one after another of our lot has picked up his sword and continued the “eternally young” quest with predictably empty results. I refer to his final journey as ill fated because de Leon, then governor of Puerto Rico, was shot with a poison arr...
