I'm coming late to this thread. Old parties and hoots do constitute thread drift, they're pretty well embedded in this thread now. . . Bob, I knew a "teacher from Highline High School" myself--he must have been at that party? And then later, as a teacher at Everett Junior College, the party crowd probably shifted. . .

I have a book here that he checked out from the Highline Library and never returned. [sigh] What a fine that will be! (It's the little Penguin Book of English Folk Songs, ed. by Vaughan Williams.
