Most, if not all, have heard the term BLAST FROM THE PAST. If memory serves, this term came into being, (at least for me), in the early 60's. DJ's would spin a few 45's from '58, or '59; songs that hit the charts running in those years.
And, from a teenager's perspective, it was always fun to hear a tune from the, (3 yrs ago), old days!!
Well, Blast from the Past took on another meaning for me just recently with thanks to son #2. And, the timing?...interesting, considering the somewhat Blast from the Past of U2.
In the process of getting rid of old stuff, (me not included, although apparently there was some debate), an old trunk was opened and gutted of its treasures. One, however, survived. As the trunk was being prepared for a garage sale, David noticed a small card. On that card was a picture of four young men; the ones you see above.
My Dad worked for CHED Radio in those days; the hottest Rock Station in Edmonton; perhaps in Alberta. And, of course, the Beatles got lots of play time. So one day my Dad brought me home this Official Membership Card for the BEATLES Fan Club; Edmonton Chapter.
When David showed me what he had found, I couldn't help but smile, vaguely remembering my dad presenting it to me so many years ago. However, my next thoughts are what really intrigue me: I wonder where Trudy Medcalf and Dawne Hester are today. How did they become Pres & V Pres? Where were they from and what school did they go to? And, I wonder if they would smile, as I did, upon seeing once again an Official Membership Card of the BEATLES Fan Club. I hope so.
Cheers to you, Trudy and Dawne.
