The Dedication of the Herbert M Munroe Elementary School

 

From the rather blurred plaque in the background, I'm think that the Herbert M Munroe Elementary School is probably what is now know as the Munroe Elementary , in Denver, CO

Digging in Google, 

Munroe Elementary, dedicated on 1962 was named in honor of Herbert M. Munroe, an appointed Attorney for the Denver Board of Education from 1897 until 1932, serving a thirty-five year span. He was a graduate of East High School class of 1891. As an advocate for public education he was instrumental in the securing of land for new elementary schools, and continuously advised the School Board to place high schools adjacent to city parks. Munroe served as a participant in the Big Brother movement, Old Timers Baseball Association, the Y.M.C.A., and Sons of the American Revolution, he died February 22, 1950 while refereeing for the Colorado State Industrial Commission. 

So, that's interesting.

Bonus : As we may have a few more American visitors than usual, here's something to annoy 50% of them. 

Before Crazy Golf Went Crazy

 This is the championship course for the 1965 PCGA event, and was criticised by Wilbur Watson ( then-US Crazy Golf defending champion) as "A bit too out-there for my liking".  He won anyway.

Compare that with modern crazy golf course, and... well. There's just no comparison.

Bonus - Yep, it's been Hot  ... and spicy.

Garden of the Gods, Colorado

 

On the slide is writ "Apr 63, Garden of the Gods, Colorado", and from that, I can surmise...just about everything.

The Garden of the Gods does look like a gorgeous area, but ... unto the pandemic is over, I suspect that most of USA will be off-limits for us brits.

Bonus - Well Done.  San Marino wins its first ever Olympic Medal.

Bonus 2 - IS THE CASIO F-91W WATCH THE ULTIMATE TERRORIST TIMEPIECE?

Yep. Americans and Parades

As previously indicated, Americans love any excuse for a street parade.

It this case, the float seems to be labelled "CU Alumnites Action" ...but Google turns up nowt on that search.

I'm guessing that CU is not Cambridge University in the UK, so I'm guessing Colorado....but as usual, your comments are welcomed.

Bonus - U.S. Shark Injuries vs. Human Bite Injuries in New York City.    Ever wonder what the statistics are?   Well, here you go. 

Bonus 2 - Saint Bartholomew

Atop The Monarch Pass

This is what slide collecting is all about.  Adistinct moment in time, and a very specific place. With a very stilted pose by some spotty teenage oil.

In this case, the Monarch Pass in Colorado

Bonus -  David Bowie - Changes

Ski Time !

Ethel, Elaine and Arthur Grooby prepare to go Shark-Hunting in Colorado.

Bonus - Suitable for this evening - The Eurosong Generator.
