In 1976 my Father-in-law, Lavern Hudson passed away. The owners of Ceadar Street Beef and Liquor were family friends and closed the restaurant for the afternoon to provide a place and all the food for his wake. What a wonderful gift from them.
This is me I took this of John Nesbehal he and his wife Lillian were Mr and Mrs clause since I was in second grade this year my daughter was 10 I’m the blonde in the rose shirt fixing his beard it was a little fake .😂❤🎉
Mr. Williams owned and operated Cedar Street Beef & Liquor along with Selma Rd. Grill and Derr Road Inn. I worked at Cedar Street from 15 - 18 yo, first as a dishwasher with the majority of my time as a bus boy. Our prime rib still stands as one of the best I've ever had. Mr. Williams' daughter founded and operated El Papagayos in what was formerly Selam Rd Grill. I was invited to and worked as a cook at El Papagayos from it's start. Most everything and all was made from scratch with authentic Tex Mex recipes. I prepped, made and cooked everything on our menu. My specialty was stuffed chili rellenos. Additionally my Dad and Step Mom owned and operated Matty Guthries, a downtown staple. I still regularly make a version of chili con carne (shredded chuck roast) and other items from my time at El Papagayos.
I just watched this video for the second time. I worked at The Champion Company for 22 years and was the Purchasing Manager. I knew Lee Rendon and Margaret Baker. Springfield Metallic Casket used to make solid copper burial vaults for Champion. For several years Champion had 2 solid copper vault stored in an upper floor of the Champion building. Those vaults were reserved for Margaret Baker and Paul Pence who was the General Manager under Miss Baker.
Those pictures of destroyed buildings were every where during that time. The controllers are covering up the millennial reign, you're welcome for the information.
I just found a old bottle that says Springfield, Ohio bottle company. The bottle was located way out in the woods at Caesars Creek. And now I'm here. 😋 Great content
Hello Natalie, thanks for all you do. When you don't yet hear in speech a word in your mind that represents the message being conveyed, refrain from using the phrase 'uh/um/mm' as it takes drastically away from the wonderful stories you have to share...
Really great video regarding The Champion Company and their amazing history. It was really interesting to hear from Marty Rendon, Leandro Rendon's son, who was the chemist who brought glutaraldehyde to the forefront as a preservative vs a sanitizing item. Champion is really and has always been First in every aspect of Funeral Service from Metal Burial Vaults to safer Glutaraldehyde based fluids to HCHO free fluids during the time when James Bedino was chemist. Jim's years as chemist was such a game changer with the creation of the 3rd and 4th generation lines of chemicals. I have used Champion for many years and they are clearly the best fluid on the market, hands down.
I’ve never toured the inside of this house but have visited the outside and the grounds several times. I’m sure it was a very picturesque spot before the reservoir was filled.
Well done. Not simply an interview, a discussion about an important person in her life, as well as the history and some of the current aspects of ham radio.
I'm disappointed you didn't mention the Avalon park dance hall fire around 1930, few people even know about Avalon Park, that was on Leffels Lane and had a wooden roller oaster
Cincinnati Reds players sometimes came to Cardboard Heros store up in center of mall, to sign autographs in late 80's early 90's. Barry Larkin i think there. Also signing autographs out in middle of mall.
One of the great comedic talents in one of the greatest comedies of all time. In another earlier interview, he states he had just come out of a mental hospital when Stanley Cramer called him to ask him to be in "Mad World" playing Pike the truck driver. He wasn't sure he was up to that just yet. His wife urged him to take the role. He said working on that movie and being with all of those fun people was the best therapy ever. It changed his life essentially and he and Cramer became good friends.
Around '89 - early 90s I sang in the (Urbana North Elementary) choir in front of what used to be Rike's by the fountain. (It wasn't Rike's at the time but before it became a Macy's.) I always remember there being new model cars almost every year. Spent a lot of time in the arcade in the entrance area as a kiddo and would meet my parents at Casano's pizza which was beside the arcade and pet store. I spent so much time there as a youth and teen. Thank you so much for the video and nostalgia! :) I can still remember what Spencer's gift would smell like. My mom bought me one of my first NES games at Kay Bee Toys (Castlevania II : Simon's Quest) which was perpendicular to Radio Shack. Lest not forget getting clothes at Chess King and Merry-Go-Round for those who could afford those stores.
At 53:40 and following Jonathan describes Leno and Letterman in unflattering terms - essentially unwilling to play with him as he was able to do with Carson and Allen (and Paar?) In Letterman's case, I think there was a limit to what interplay he was willing to do with a guest. (He would do a lot of interplay with his staff.) He would do a broad set up perhaps, but not a give and take. Letterman was happy to knock the stuffing from a guest or at least test the mettle of the guest. He was an excellent and under-rated interviewer for non-entertainer guests. As to Leno, the NBC affiliate station managers didn't want him to take over from Johnny Carson. (Carson wanted Letterman.) So, Leno tried his best to ape Carson for a long to time. It wasn't until the OJ Simpson trial that Leno came into his own, with the Dancing Ito's (men dressed to look like the trial judge Lance Ito) and such.
Pastor Stitt served my childhood church. Married my hubby and I over 50 years ago. Sorry to read that Betty has passed. I had no idea that he served in WWII. He's responsible for me being able to attend college. Hi, Pastor. Thank you for your many services. Linda
