March 7, 1977 - that's when Paul Jordan and I hosted a PTOC meet at Clinton State Park - or whatever it was called before the water filled up Clinton Lake (reservoir). We had a training workout today - I just hung streamers and Mary Jones, Dick Neuburger, Fritz Menninger, Eric Saggars and one more KC guy ran the course. We also had a Jr ROTC group from Manhattan, KS doing the beginner's course. About 13 people total. I might send a copy of my Randolph Park map so the Manhattanites can orienteer closer to home. My first time at the Randolph Park Area was the O' meet Dale Bryant (KSU O'Club) on Mar 26, '77.
The Lake Henry map used today is out-of-date with vague treelines, vague line of outcrops and missing trees in open areas. Hope the runners managed to cope with the fuzziness.

You are My Sunshine. . .
Listening to Prairie Home Companion this morning, the Wailin Jennys, Garrison plus Bonnie Raitt sang "You are My Sunshine." Beautifully done. Growing up in Wichita I got to see Gene Autry at a rodeo at the old Lawrence Stadium. That seemed to be his signature song. . . can't remember if he sang at the rodeo.
Music was a big part of my youth - church choir, church bell choir, violin and orchestra (4th to 7th grade), junior high choruses. As much as I liked to reminisce about "You are My Sunshine" I can't carry a tune any more. But I'm out of practice. My brother Don sure liked to sing. I miss his enthusiasm to respond with a song to questions.
