Default Re: She was very big that "FITZGERALD" !

Yes Like Char said - concurrence - that was Harry Reasoner, but Jesse that video hit closer to home for me than ever for two reasons - whenever I hear that radio transmission from the other ship that had her in her sites, I get the shiver down my spine..AND FOR THE FIRST time I noticed that one young man - Bruce Hudson -was from my childhood home North Olmsted, Ohio - a suburb west edge of developed Cleveland before ag lands.

He likely was a Senior in my High School when I was a Freshman, as
he was 3 yrs older than me in '76. I thought the family name Hudson sounded familiar - he may have had sisters and brothers nearer my age. I'd go and check in CLassmates.com at the freeby level - but all the da88 spam from them...that breaks thru my spam blocker - they are relentless.

Somehow it feels even closer to home now. Cleveland rarely makes it in songs.....lol..interesting to note that perhaps one of Gord's 3 biggest and.or noteworthy songs- The Wreck - named Cleveland, another originally 'Hold The Hands I love' late renamed we all know 'SFAWN' - written in CLEVELAND, and his debut in the 'la Cave' was in Cleveland - I guess by a boring concept (to most) called (the mapping) proximal/density-corrolation' - what with Cleveland right across Lake EErie (sic), from Ontario makes its name prolific almost out of common sense alone.

And, I was surprised at the large number of men from Ohio. I shouldn't be, but I sure must have been tied up with sports and dating to not hear.....no I duhh I know why....we moved west in '75 to Colorado, so it would no longer have ben 'local' huge news, but Reasoner was a network broadcast - the "Reasoner Report' if I remember right. Should have been broadcast in Colorado,too, probably was, and I was out cavorting...Man do I feel bad now... Major footage, Jesse - thank you.
