Hi all,

For those of you in the area, Wild Wings is having their annual Spaghetti Supper on Saturday!  Great food, fun folks and our beloved animals!


Love Spaghetti!!!   Especially when your slurp it and it slaps you in the face! I so need a bib!!

Hey Donna,
A Dear Friend said " the only way to eat spaghetti is Naked" So I guess I won't be going to dinner

Of course being Canadian I recall even better the answer to the question almost any Canadian alive at the time knows Where were U in 72?

Let's see. Was it because:

the Queen Elizabeth burned in Hong Kong harbor?
Nixon went to China?
Japanese WWII soldier Shoichi Yokoi was discovered in Guam after spending 28 years in the jungle?
it was the longest year in history with a leap day and 2 leap seconds?
the movie The Godfather was released?
Bewitched aired its final episode?
Okinawa was returned to Japan after 27 years of United States Military occupation?
the Magnavox Odyssey video game went on sale, marking the dawn of the video game age?
of Watergate?
of Hurricane Agnes?
Jane Fonda went to North Vietnam?
George Carlin was arrested by Milwaukee police for public obscenity, for reciting his "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television" at Summerfest?
the last U.S. ground troops were withdrawn from Vietnam?
the first episode of The Price Is Right with host Bob Barker was aired?
eleven Israeli athletes at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich were murdered?
The Joy of Sex was published?
a plane transporting a rugby union team crashed at about 14,000 feet in the Andes mountain range, near the Argentina/Chile border, and the survivors had to resort to cannibalism to survive?
the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 1,000 for the first time?
Atari released Pong?
Apollo 17 returned to Earth, concluding the program of lunar exploration?
the Pittsburgh Steelers won their first ever post-season NFL game, defeating the Oakland Raiders 13–7, on a last second play that became known as The Immaculate Reception?
the US ban on the pesticide DDT took effect, saving falcons and other birds of prey from extinction?
the Canadian national men's hockey team defeated the Soviet national ice hockey team in Game 8 of the 1972 Summit Series, 6–5, to win the series 4–3–1?

But the most importent thing of all was that Dave married ginha  

Wow, you named "Hope", how sweet is that!! 

It was real sweet 

It's an "Honor" to name a Falcon! 

Hope was fitted with a transmitter, Sad to say they never found either.

Wow, you named "Hope", how sweet is that!! 

It was real sweet 

No, it was ViKing, one of the five orphans hacked from Richmond Hill in 2002 after Pounce-Kingsley and Victoria died.

Thanks for that tidbit!

They both died at the same time and left 5 orphans?? This stuff is getting knee deep but awesome finding out all this info. Did we know this and I forgot?

I don't recall the details, but Pounce-Kingsley died first then Victoria a while later.  It was the subject of the movie we saw fledge watch weekend 2010-Return of the Peregrine I think...

Those of us following the Rochester falcons in 2002 were aware of it.

We sure were Shaky, I was lucky to have named one, I was thrilled when Marcel told me.

Hey,
Just thought I would pop in for a minute. I just got an e mail from Marty Matag, yes I know she is gone. Someone is using her account. I did not open it and it had a few of your names on it to. So beware of them.
Take Care, ginha

Have a Happy New Year everyone. We are going out to Dinner and then home early to avoid the hard core party animals...   LOL. Keep safe tonight
