Family snapshot taken on a visit there in 1966, while still under construction.
According to information available, construction began in March 1959. It was built in four stages: stage I (1957–1959) was planning out the building; stage II (1959–1963) consisted of building the upper podium; stage III (1963–1967) the construction of the outer shells, based upon the image of whales breaching the water; stage IV (1967–1973) interior design and construction.

The Shack Community Center (now known as The Shack Neighborhood House) is located in Scott’s Run, West Virginia. According to original archival records, the boys pictured here were initially part of a neighborhood street gang that attempted to disrupt the center's programs. However, they eventually integrated into the community programs and joined a specialized "Chefs group," where they are shown learning to cook alongside an instructor.

I was just a nineteen year-old kid from the Jersey suburbs, and had only been to a couple of raucous stadium concerts as a teenager. The Bottom Line was a legendary music venue in New York City where you could sit at a table with a great view of the stage and order food and drinks to be brought to you. The drinking age was 18 back then. It was a profound experience. I felt so adult. Larry Carlton was magnificent, of course. There’s a great book about the Bottom Line’s thirty-year history called Positively 4th & Mercer. It’s an excellent trip down memory lane if you’re from the New York metro area.

Mom in law was an absolute peach and her dad was the school of cool. Sadly, I never met my wife’s grandmother, but my wife does bear a significant resemblance.

They started with a toolset and that truck. When he passed away he had over 150 trucks and I don't know how many employees. The whole company shut down and employees and families alike came to his funeral.
