Denver Democratic Convention

The last time the Democratic convention was held in Denver was a century ago,1908. Apache Indians were congregated at the station as greeters. Loads of snow from the mountains were piled around the train station.

With whiskey as a catalyst, a massive snow ball fight ensued and some of our visitors ended up in the hoochie.

William Jennings Bryan won the nomination again (1896,1900,1908) and failed to win again as Taft was elected President. Bryan, from Nebraska, was best remembered as a thunderous orator.

  

Hey-Hey

Jack Brickhouse died 10 years ago today. born a year earlier than Poo-Paw in 1934. He was the voice of the Chicago Cubs for 5000+ games.

 

When black and white TV was in its infancy, JB broadcast every Cub home game in Chicago on TV.

Anyone from the Midwest in JB broadcasting days would know his saying, "Hey--Hey "!! was Jack Brickhouse.

We visited with him at a Denver Bears game. He signed our Cubs seat cushion.

"Hey--Hey-- Ernie Banks has hit another Home Run....
