It was with great sadness we lost James Mongell Friday morning
In Memory of James Mongell who passed Thursday morning 3/20/2015

A toast to James and thoughts to Jan
We were regailed with basketball "jokes"
Moaning was universal!
"OK.... Let's get to the dancing!!"
"Come on Will... I am awaiting your arrival!"
Devi was an Air Traffic Controller....
No one is going to crash on her shift!
Sue checks with the Roberts...

It's a line dance
The ladies and the brave men take to the floor
(We can hear the sounds of "Snap, Crackle, and Pop")
The room is rocking
Left two... right three... Back one
... Forward two.... Do it again!
Did You Know?
The Madison was a popular line dance of the 1950s and 60s. It was also featured in a movie starring Ricki Lake, Jerry Stiller, Sonny Bono and Divine. What was the name of the movie?
Hairspray. The Madison is reported to have been started in Columbus, Ohio by William "Bubbles" Holloway. The Madison is a dance where the dancer moves in steps back and forth. Different moves are called out during the dance. Some of the names of these moves include: the Double Cross, the Cleveland Box, the Big M, the Rifleman, and the Jackie Gleason.
Another popular line dance from the 1950s was the Stroll. What musical group from the 1950s wrote a song called "The Stroll"?
The Diamonds. The Stroll became popular due to the show "American Bandstand". According to Dick Clark, there wasn't an official song about The Stroll, so he asked The Diamonds to come up with a song and they did. Basically, The Stroll is a dance where there are two parallel lines, of guys on one side and girls on the other. Each couple makes their way to the end of the line and then they dance their way down between the two lines of people. Two examples of the Stroll can be seen in the movies "Grease" and "American Graffiti".
"Hey... No fair looking at someone elses feet.... It cheating!"

Checking for new steps
Did You Know? - One of the most notable aspects of this brand is the advertising campaign, begun in 1956, which utilized twins as spokespersons for the gum, as a play on the word "double" in the name. The original "Doublemint Twins" were Jayne and Joan Boyd of Hammond, Indiana, who appeared in advertisements for Doublemint until Joan became pregnant in 1963.
The originals....
Did You Know? - Wrigley began running Doublemint Twin commercials again in 2005 with a new set of twins, Natalie and Nicole Garza, who were dressed in old-fashioned clothes. They drove a tandem bike through various modern day situations, singing about the complexity of modern life and touting the joy of the simple pleasure of Doublemint gum.
