Several Different Items

     Feelin' a little down, a little slow, frustrated? The Kornerman's got an answer for you.
     Pull up the computer, go to YouTube Music. Type in "Walk in the Black Forest" by Horst Jankowski or "Candy Man" by Sammy Davis or "Summer Samba" by Walter Wanderley. If one of those don't get you "movin'" in the right direction, you need another source of advice.
     Walter Wanderley, of course, plays the organ and I, the Kornerman, have mentioned before how much I like organ sounds. Henry Mancini's "Mr Lucky" with Buddy Cole on the organ is a favorite. Then too there's Lenny Dee and Jackie Davis among other great organists. I could listen and enjoy all day.

     Great to receive a phone call from California's Don (Red) Houser, BHS-49, yesterday. Don was weighing in on the BHS gym naming. He mentioned as possible "names," Harold (Chinny) Chinstedt who was a great Toreador player in 1934 and, of course, Coach Bud Fisher, who guided the 1931 Toreadors to the state championship. That team had many individual standouts too, "Oc" Dettman and others.
     We had a good talk about it and ended up in agreement that it would be better to leave it alone. If one individual was named, there would be too many other great candidates slighted.
     The Kornerman had to mention a great thrill I had, as a kid, watching Red carry the football for a long touchdown run as an Iowa State University player in the early 50's. Red shunned some of that talk and, instead, wanted to mention his grandkids who are great Lacrosse players. He was surprised that sport has not invaded Iowa yet. Both a grandson and granddaughter have been high school standouts in the sport and have received college scholarship offers. Don said he would send me some material regarding their success.

     Jerry Manriquez, BSH-57, sent me a recipe for "Iowa Maid Rites." He said, "I can't remember if you put this in the Korner." Yes, we have reported such recipes a time or two but maybe not this specific recipe and, what the heck, its always worth repeating anyway.
     Here goes: slow cooker loose meat sandwich. 2 T dried onions, 1 T warm water, 3 lbs ground beef, 1 beef boullion cube, 1 chicken boullion cube, 1 1/2 cups water, 1 T Worchestershire sauce, 1 T soy sauce, 2 T cider vinegar, 2 T brown sugar. Put all this in a crock pot. Done in about for hours. Jerry concluded, "so gooooood. I think this is better than what you find in the Maid Rite stores."
     It seems to the Kornerman that this is a bit different than previous Maid Rite recipes we have provided.

     Bits and Pieces: (1) The Kornerman had noticed the name "Wally Taylor" in the Register one day and that "rang a bell." Many years ago, there was a young attorney, Wally Taylor, who came to Boone and, in fact, rented an apartment from my parents. I, of course, had to follow up. Yes, it was confirmed by Pam Mackey Taylor that the mentioned Wally Taylor was, at one time, a Boone resident. Wally is the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Iowa Chapter of the Sierra Club and Pam Mackey Taylor is also a member of that committee. The Taylor's reside in Cedar Rapids but the Sierra Club offices are in Des Moines. (2) The BHS class of 1976 had a reunion at the Herman Park Shelter House last weekend and about 70 folks were in attendance. (3) Barry Wills, BHS-58, wrote, "over the years, I've had several requests from people who went to Grid in the late 50's and early 60's for the name of the song we played for the last dance. If those folks would google "Teenage Goodnight" and the artist, (the Chordettes?) they can hear it again. It does bring back good memories for some of us. Please share this if you can." (4) John Kueck, BHS-61, sent this information, "I saw this on Facebook. It is a very nice coverage of Kate Shelley and scenic views of that area. I'm also wondering about when the new bridge was built and wondering if the old bridge is still being used and do those bridges have names?"  To find these familiar scenes......https://www.facebook.com/SmithsonianChannel/videos/10154019658243357/.
