JUST BECAUSE IT'S AN ELECTION YEAR...
...I decided to pull this photo out. That's me on the top right. No, I'm not holding an apple; that's an old Kodak Brownie camera that my mom gave me to take pictures while I was on this trip. I think she was hoping I'd lose it. I didn't. But it didn't take very good photos. I don't think that either I or my mom has any of them from the trip anymore.
One of the highlights of this trip was when our tour bus passed the Watergate Hotel, which at the time was JUST BECOMING SOMETHING. I remember the bus driver pointing it out and saying (in all sincerity) that it was the hotel "that's getting some headlines recently." Little did he know.
What's really scary about this picture is that after 35 years I can still name most of the people in it. (Come to think of it, I remember that the driver of our tour bus was named C.D. Ragsdale. It's hard to forget a name like that!) Two of the three adults are teachers who were nuts enough to accompany 30 ninth graders from Brookfield, WI to Washington, D.C. for spring break, a Miss Carpenter and Mr. Paul Pelnar, who was my history teacher that year. The other guy who looks like Nixon was our representative at the time, Glenn Davis.
Okay, I'm gonna try and tell you who most of these people are, so if you Google yourself and end up here, send me a note and tell me that you found the picture! (My e-mail is ttuerff@aol.com) If you click on the picture it gets big, by the way...
THE GUYS: Kim Robert Ziarkowski (He was a senior who missed out on a previous trip -- Thanks Bud Geracie, for remembering this! 1/12/09), Pete Pintar, Tim Philosophos, Jim Gunst, Mike "Bud" Geracie (yes, THAT Bud Geracie, renowned sports columnist for the San Jose Mercury News), Steve Sonderman, Steve Schumacher, Tim Peters, Dwayne Wagenknecht, Bob McLaughlin and me!
THE GIRLS (in descending rows): Mary Sandstrom, Missy Jeske, Kathy Lassack, Cathy Clancy, ?,Libby Blank*, Marilyn Nahorn*, Laurie Wrobbel, Darcy Wendorf, Sue Teeter, Bonnie Mundt, Sue Galli, Ann Miller, Laura Jenzake, Donna Torreano, Ann Baker, Sheila Truesdale**, Janice Dechant (thank you for the ID, Laura Jenzake Hinkle!), Kari Schmidt*, Mary Sullivan.
Not bad -- 23 out of 30! 24 now with help...(7 Sept 08)
*Fellow former classmate Chris Tenaglia checks in with THREE -- Count 'em -- THREE identities on 3/3/09! Thanks!
** We have another ID on 1/2/11! Much thanks to Lisa Vento Hainline and her sister Debbie for IDing Ms. Truesdale!! One more to go...
We now have 29 students in the photo identified as of 1/2/11 -- any help on the last one is greatly appreciated!

I played a gig last weekend at the SETS in Tempe and made a new low in paid gig money; $5.
Do I even have to report that on my taxes?
