Courage Shines Bright

Here's the editorial cartoon from the July 22, 1969 Tulsa World.

See you next Monday.

  

Stamps and Moon Medals

From the August 17, 1969 Tulsa World.

No, I don't think you should send off to the addresses hoping to redeem these offers.  See you on Monday.

  

Honored 52 Years Ago Today!

Yep, it's from the August 16, 1969 Tulsa World.

Check the entertainment.  Who wouldn't want to see Bill Dana, Dionne Warwick, Nancy Ames, and Flip Wilson?!?  That's the greatness of America, buddy!

See you next week.  In the meantime, I hope somebody honors you.

  

Courage!

It's from the July 25, 1969 Time.

Beyond the profundity of the written word, for the past 50 years I have always felt that this 1909 photo of Robert Peary was emulated in 1932 by Bela Lugosi as the Speaker of the Law in The Island of Lost Souls.

What do you think?

See you next week for more silly seriousity!

  

Two Filler Moon Mentions

The Apollo missions and NASA so filled the air that little tidbits which could be tied in became good filler pieces.

These two adjoining bits are from the July 18, 1969 Tulsa World.  Regarding the last sentence of the "coffee" blurb, what a societal change coffee-drinking has undergone!  "Sure beats stone-cold coffee."  Take that, you elitist cold-coffee drinkers!  

See you next week after I subdue my outrage.  See you then!
