The reason I remember this is because Lynn HATCHER ('68) had a party at her house and I did not get an invitation. I was amazed when Lynn called me the afternoon of the party and asked me if I could bring the record to the party! I was dumbfounded by the request since I wasn't even invited! I asked Mom and a couple friends what they thought. The only real answer I got was from Mom. She said I should take the 45 rpm record (remember them?) to Lynn's house about the time of the party, and see if she asked me to join the party. The problem was I was too young to drive and my folks had a dinner date at the Elks Club! Dad came up with an outstanding solution! He ordered a taxi for me; holy poop! He gave me enough money to pay the cabbie both ways if Lynn said "Thanks," and closed the door. Luckily Lynn said it was cool I had the record and told me I was early, so we could go downstairs and listen to the song and talk. I had to pay the cabbie, so I kind of made a big deal of it, saying "One minute, please, Lynn. I need to pay the taxi bill." I think I gave the cab driver all the money Dad had given me. Dad SAID the next day the driver probably got the tip of his career in Richland! The point of all this is it was my first ever taxi ride! I need to thank Lynn and the song for expanding my horizons! There is nothing like a taxi ride in Richland to make a kid feel like James Bond! -Clif EDWARDS ('68) ~ Apache Junction, AZ where the weather is starting to feel a little better, only 96 today! ************************************************************* ************************************************************* >>From: Gary TURNER ('71) Re: Sukiyaki Sukiyaki was a beautiful love song by a Japanese artist named Kyu Sakamoto. It did debut on KORD and, in a moment that won't go down in the cultural sensitivity hall of fame, was renamed Sukiyaki since the DJ couldn't pronounce the Japanese name on the 45 that had been brought to him from Japan. A Japanese journalist commented that was like a Japanese DJ playing Moon River and renaming it Beef Stew! KORD was the top 40 station in the Tri-Cities until KALE took that format in the late '60s. I still remember their weather reports that ended with "the current temperature is 74 KORDgrees!" -Gary TURNER ('71) ************************************************************* ********************** MEMORIAL INFO ************************ ************************************************************* not a memorial - only INFO today Ted DAVENPORT ('65-RIP) ~ 10/8/47 - 7/18/17 Celebration of life: TODAY, Octonrt 7, 2017, 11am Providence Benedictine Orchard House 550 S.
