IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

Arthur Gottfredson is this week's winner of the John Garfield "look-a-like" contest.

John Garfield
An American actor 1913-1952 who was especially adept at playing brooding, rebellous, working class character roles. He is acknowledged as the predecessor of such method actors as Marlon Brando.


Arthur Gottfredson is the father of Oil Can. He passed away in 1997.

Arthur was an outstanding athlete at Utah State University. He saw much combat action during WWII as a gunner's mate on a destroyer in the Pacific Campaign. After the war he became a successful farmer, teacher, scholar and raised a great family, for the most part. He was a world traveler, spending many years teaching in the Middle East. Above all, he was a real gentleman.



RED SOX LEGEND OF THE WEEK
Pumpsie Green
He was the first black man to play for the Red Sox in 1959-1962.



FLY OF THE WEEK
Mickey Finn
Popular Streamer




KNOT OF THE WEEK
Hangman's Noose
This knot was very popular in the old west and also at Nuremburg, Germany, right after WWII.
It is still a very appropriate knot to use on Halloween when displaying something or somebody at the end of a rope on your front porch.

Best of luck on the quiz. Keep those comments and e-mails coming. Due to the fact that many readers failed to respond to the first quiz, tomorrow's quiz will be appropriate for those afraid to enter the regular quizzes. Voo wants all levels of intellectual ability to have the opportunity to win the prizes. In other words, the quiz tomorrow will be a "dummied down" quiz.

That's all for now.
Rock on ------

This week's quiz is hard and annoying. It makes my head hurt. The photo of my mother makes me feel weird. Please take it off you blog site Mr. Voo. Joyce going to juvie--sounds about right. Arthur makes the rest of you Manti guys look like chumps. Finally, I am a fan of both Circus Boy and Pumpsie Green.
