We are both right, those two and a host of others recorded it or a version thereof according to Wikipedia. I'm remembering Bill Haley's version because I first heard it when returning from Vietnam in 1964 - the same year he recorded it.

Yes, a Bill Haley (sp?) and the Comets hit in the mid sixties or so.

We students thought that was just an attempt to make us be aware of the security of the job. Kinda tickled us too, our class of a couple dozen were all college graduates and our instructors had joined the Navy in or just out of high school. They brought that up every once in a while.
Anyway, I was first imbedded into a group of Marines and being the only Sailor there caught all sorts of kidding. They all had been in service for an enlistment or two and were infantry types. This guy who wasn't assigned any firepower hardware was an oddity.

Just curious Gene - were you ordered to shoot Cryptologists instead of letting us get captured?
That is what we were told in school - like the Indian Code Talkers in WW II.
The reason was Gary Francis Powers let himself get taken prisoner a couple years before and the MPs were ordered to not let that happen to us.
Made a good story anyway.

I guess you will provide teachers with PPE that are sent back into crowded classrooms huh? (I don't want my "teacher" spouse back into the classroom way to soon.)

Well, you took some great shots, thank you!

Yes, seeing those old mechanical marvels from years ago was enjoyable for me too. During the early eighties I developed a fascination with rusty farm equipment and started gathering what I could from around my place out in the country. For some reason or another my collection began to be centered around the John Deere company's products made earlier than 1940.
Every year or so I'd select one from the barn and restore it, was always a very interesting history lesson as well as finishing a nice restoration of a piece of history too.
When retiring and moving to this retirement facility a couple years ago my farm auction sold twenty five restored "square nosed" John Deere tractors plus pounds of associated equipment. One buyer drove halfway across the country with a tractor trailer rig and bought three of my largest tractors. He would send photos of him driving them in parades every once in a while. It was fun but glad someone else enjoys them now.

Correct, that is a H. F. Wullenweber C.D.A.A.

This current lockdown reminds me of the time I spent in that building during the Typhoid epidemic in Scotland in the mid sixties:

Watching this thread - ordered a fire stick hoping to improve tv reception in my rv.

Already left a couple hours ago, pulling the big rig outa the big city!

Super cool, wonder if the local animal shelter would have one or two I could foster for a while...

Packing for a trip at present and had a revelation. That lens had been my constant companion on trips to every continent, some several times, since its purchase very soon after canon made it available.
The revelation is I realized it has been sitting at home for a year or so, my iPhone 10 has superseded it.

That last one is really off the grid, the coronavirus will never invade it. Beautiful collection, thank you.
