I knew Tom Good and Chris Grove since junior high school at John Marshall Junior High, 

where I probably made their acquaintance in 7th grade. They were both in my art class there

with Mr. Kinney as the teacher. Chris Grove was a poet and an artist who published a little book, 

as I recall, full of poems and art, some of it perhaps from Tom Good.  Tom was in Thespians at 

North High, and so was I. Sometimes Mike Hansen, Tom Good, Chris Grove and I would drag

Douglas together for entertainment before stopping at Bayouth's Grocery on Douglas for pastries. 

Tom played Richard Rich in "A Man For All Seasons", the 1967 North High senior play 

directed by Andy Brown. I played Norfolk. The 1967 Tower Year Book page for the play is at

I remember Richard Weir from grade school. We were both students at
Fairmount Grade School just west of Hillside and a few blocks north of 13th street.
It had a fabulous view of the grain elevators to the west from the huge home room
hall on the 2nd floor, which occaisionally ran entertaining science movies like
The Strange Case of the Cosmic Rays, in addition to movies about American History
and nature studies.

I've known Mark Harvey since I was a student at John Marshall Junior High School,
back when we both lived near 21st Street and Amidon, where Atlantic Mills
used to be. Mark went out for track and field, while I went in for theater and
Thesbians, which was really sociable and quite a bit of fun. Rich Fagg and
Darwin Corwin invited me, and so I got to be introduced to the theater crowd
and passed the audition for roles in a number of North High plays. The photo of
me is from my 68th birthday, May 13, 1949. I took Life Extension skin-restoring
phytoceramides for a couple of months before taking the picture. I causes the
skin to be sealed with ceramides between skin cells that have arisen from
deeper layers of skin, so that hydration and skin elaticity improve. It has been
responsible for a number of remarkable old lady rejuvenations.

Jane has been in town, although I have not seen her for a few years.
I think the last time I bumped into Jane, she was talking with Darwin Corwin
in a Fu Manchu mustache at the Wichita Art Museum. The picture shown
below is my 68th birthday photo, taken on May 13, 2017. For two months
before taking the photo I took Life Extension skin-restoring phytoceramides,
which often helps us develop a youthful look.

I met Darwin Corrin in a Fu Manchu mustache about a year ago, perhaps,
at the Wichita Art Museum by the River near the old zoo. He seemed
talkative and sociable, as before. I have him and Rich Fagg to thank for
inviting me to join Thesbians to participate in North High plays.
Below I have included a recent Internet cell phone photo of myself
taken on my 68th birthday, May 13, 2017. I tried out
Life Extension Skin-Restoring Phytoceramides with Lipowheat
for a couple of months before I took the picture.

Above: Bill Taggart as a gymnast on the Rings.

I once attempted a planch on the rings with Bill Taggart as a witness, but I couldn't hold it for long.

The planch looks about the same as Bill does above, but your whole body must be above the rings or even with them.

I went out for gymnastics one year myself, but I worried too much about sprains from dislocates

and dangerous dismounts. On the other hand, Bill Taggart really made the team.

Otis Carr appeared in Dinny and the Witches, which was directed by Andy Brown, in which

I appeared, along with other members of the North High Thesbians group. I played Stonehenge,

the banker/comptroller of all the funds in the world...the Devil. Coincidentally,

I lived at the end of a circular court bounded by a number of stones. - Jim Green, March 31, 2017

Mike Hanson, Tom Good, Chris Grove, and I used to drag Douglas together.

After reaching the West side of our narrow orbit down Douglas we would stop 

off at Bay Youth's Grocery Store for a food orgy and pick up frosted rolls or pastrys 

of some type. Mike loved to tell jokes, and I even remember a couple of them, 

but they are probably too ribald to appear here. 

For instance, a boy wanders into the restroom in his father's house and discovers his

Dad putting on a rubber. The kid asks: "What are you putting one of those on for, Dad?"

The father sez: "Well son, I'm going to catch a mouse, that's what I'm going to do....

I'm going to catch a mouse." The kid sez: "You gonna f...k him, Dad?"
