Not Bruce FasickOkay, not really.  But the clothes are so 1977 and the haircuts make it all so plausible! 

Today, Tom Harvey sent me that email about the JC Penney's catalogue from 1977, and it's just funnier every time I see it.  It's kind of alarming to think that people (us?) thought that any of this merchandise was cool.

Go ahead. Take a look. It's like a car wreck. Ugly. Frightening. But you can't not look.

JC Penney’s 1977. Another great one is Plaid Stallions. Ooh.  How about the 1978 Sears Catalogue?

DeSoto High School band director Harry Blake was named to New Mexico Highlands University's hall of honor for his basketball achievements. But Mr. Blake says he's glad he turned to teaching instead of playing with the Harlem Globetrotters.Who knew?

Apparently, Tim Harris and a bunch of other people, but until Tim emailed, I did not know that Harry Blake had plenty of options.  "I remember the few times the faculty played the students . . .he had an amazing jump shot."

By the way, Tim's a Fairfax County Public School teacher himself.  Someday, one of his students will be remembering him on the future's version of a webpage.

This is not "news," per se, but really fun.  I stumbled across an old story from an online Florida newspaper.  It made me smile, because my own Army family is astonished with how we run into Fort Hunters all over the globe.  Looks like the two women alumni in the linked story here had the ultimate Fort Hunt connection.  Click "Read more" to read the story of "2 Pams, 2 kids and a wedding."
