Another photo from the Watertown NY trip




I found this photo which appears to have been taken on the trip to Watertown mentioned in my previous post.  You'll see Jack in the back left, Paul Sr. toward the right, and Imogene on the far right. The look on Paul Sr.'s face is priceless...  (click on photo to enlarge)

Conversation with the Kemps - May 7, 1969


And now, for your listening pleasure, an audio interview with Paul Sr., Balboa Jack, and Imogene! I just found these photos of the occasion for the interview. (You'll see Paul Sr. and Balboa Jack on the left side of the dais. Click on photos to enlarge.)




Rob opened a box that had been in dad's attic and found a reel-to-reel tape labeled, "Conversation with the Kemps." Inside the box was stamped, "KSDR-radio, Box 293, Watertown, SD, 57201." We had it converted to a cd and Rob has uploaded it to Google Video so that we all can listen. It's an interview done by the Watertown, South Dakota, radio station on the 100th anniversary of the chartering of Watertown, New York. Apparently Paul Sr., brother Jack, and sister Imogene (aka "Mrs. Laurin Wood"), went to New York for the festivities, as did someone from the South Dakota radio station. This is the interview with "Watertown's Founding Family." [Note: Rob put a few photos up, mostly because Google doesn't accept just audio, so with a couple of photos, Google thinks it's a video. That Rob is a clever one....] Click on the "PLAY" arrow to begin.
