A Century of Ranger Pride

Remember the homecoming that Sonny & Cher were booked for the Big Show, but didn't show up. Who filled in for them that year? Kay Starr?

Homecoming at Northwestern. What memories, but memories of college as well. Picture this, a youngster moving up to the stage steps while the show is on, then having Joey Heatherton look down to him and sing. My heart still beats wildly from that. But does anyone remember my freshman class bringing the group The Five Americans to our freshman class dance? Seems those day in Alva are way in the past.

Oh, shoot! I thought I might get to see you at the Ranger Legends Reunion. Sorry about that. I, too, remember the "big name" shows that Brooks used to bring to Alva. What a legacy that would be! Weather here in NE Kansas is spring-like. Supposed to rain. Harvest of soybeans is nearly complete, but corn and milo are lagging. If it rains that will delay things some more. Cheers!
