These first two pictures are of the cheeta and dog that were put two together when babies.  Cheeta was abandoned by its mother and it needed a companion.  Busch Gardens started hunting for a blond lab.  Found this dog at an animal shelter and it seemed to be just what they needed.  No other cheetas that could take the cub at that time.  They are now about 2 years old.  The dog is a mixed breed, not all lab., but is the dominate one.  They are very much like brother and sister.  You can see the dog among the trees in the second picture. 
The band Sha Na No was playing at the Stanleville Theatre.  The leader is dressed in a "Yello Polka Dotted Bikini"  He lost his sarong as he exited the stage.  I did not remember the band, but did remember the songs they played.  They sang the "hokey pokey" and of course got the audience to do the moves.  Got a man up on the stage to show us how and he had good rhythm.  Kept up with the band.  Then they sang the "shimmy"  or what ever the name of the song.  This lady (with white hair)  not me, could really shake and shimmy.  They had her on stage too, and had her take a bow when she went back to her seat.  fun.   The other thing I remember about that concert.  After the band left the stage and we were filing out, over the loud speaker came a recording of Al Jolson singing "Toot-toot-tootsie-good-by"  My Dad loved Al Jolson, saw him in person in Chicago.   so I grew up listening to Al Jolson on the old Victrola.  
These three pictures are of the National Great Lakers RV Club  gathering for their "winter meeting"  We go to Parksdale Farms for strawberry shortcake or sundaes and then to a near by park to sit, talk and enjoy visiting with each other.  28 of us there this year.  Good time.
Not the best pictures to know who was there.  Ernie said it seemed as they turned around each time he took a picture.  But we still know who was there.
Have a good day.  jkc
