Fourteen Green:

I don't recall the commercial in 1968, as I was 13, but that description of it
was from a friend. Glad I was able to get that to you.

Frank Howard belong to my pool on Georgia Avenue in Wheaton, in 1968, and was
there allot during the day, with his 9 kids. We didn't bug him, but he told my
Dad, once, that he wished for more interactivity from us. We either I will
never forget him making like a motorboat, with of his kids clinging to him in
the pool! That pool is now gone, for housing.

Is Howard still coaching somewhere?

That's right Mlmarmer! I remember that part now. Thank you for
confirming and embellishing what I thought I remembered!

I met Hondo in 1990 in Buffalo. He seemed to be a very nice, almost
shy guy.

long have you been drinking Nestles Quik?" Frank pinches him on the
cheek and says "Since I was about your size".
