Show JUN KURUMADA RI 1 2 01 church, like a gymnasium, and he called all these people to com in and participat in th songs and dances and many of them have come in. He s taken them off the str t because Humboldt College is quite a radical or hippie college town. The peopl th r , or the students there, well I guess they're prone to do most anything that's interesting. BEC: And different, yeah.

I guess he got the incentive to show that's he's not really a knucklehead! (laughs). But that's the extent of our so-called family. As far as our family's concerned, well, I had a younger brother who was in the insurance business. He had his family, but he died about ten years ago. And, of course, that's my younger brother, Tom. And he was a big athlete in our family. In fact, he's probably one of the few, what they call, five lettermen at the University. He had a letter in football and four letters in swimming. Well, he was intercollegiate swimming 8 |
