The KOM League
Flash Report
For
July 19, 2019
Anyone curious as to what possibly could be left to write about, regarding the KOM league, there are two items in this week’s report One contains old news and the other a current event.
www.flickr.com/photos/60428361@N07/48317007492/
Over the course of documenting the history of KOM league players there are some names that have a question mark beside them. In those instances the old batboy is relatively sure he has found the former player but has no conclusive evidence that would stand up in court.
A former player meeting those criteria was a short-term pitcher for the Bartlesville Oilers that was identified as Joseph Radamacher. Many trips have been made through Ancestry.com files and about a half dozen years ago it was believed the fellow was Joseph John Rademacher Jr. of Escanaba, Michigan. That name went on the KOM database with a question mark attached thereto.
In the past week a birth announcement was found in the January 3, 1928 Escanaba Daily Press that Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Rademacher of Escanaba had given birth to a 10-pound boy the previous day.
There were numerous references to Joseph Jr. as he made his way through grade and high school. He attended St. Joseph’s High School in Escanaba. The Escanaba Daily Press reported on December 17, 1946 that Joseph Jr. had been accepted to attend the Bartow, Florida baseball school from January 6 through February 13, 1947. The supervisor for the school was George “Snuffy” Stirnweiss, Yankee second baseman www.google.com/search?q=snuffy+stirnweiss&oq=snuffy+s...
He was assisted by Fred Vaughn of the Washington Senators, www.google.com/search?q=Fred+Vaughn+baseball&oq=Fred+...
Burt Shotten of the Brooklyn Dodgers, www.google.com/search?q=burt+shotton+baseball&oq=Bert...
Ed Murphy coach at Holy Cross www.google.com/search?q=Ed+murphy+holy+cross&oq=ed+mu... and Doc Meek the trainer of the Newark Bears.
By January 27, 1947 the Escanaba newspaper reported Rademacher had been tagged as a youngster with talent and was offered a contract by the Pittsburgh Pirates. The article stated he had been given the choice of signing a Class B or C contract and chose the lower classification in order better himself in a career he envisioned would put him in the major leagues later on.
After extensive research all that could be found, for 1947, was his brief appearance with the Bartlesville Oilers.
In a May 18, 1948 article a headline in the Escanaba Daily Press stated “Ford River Hurler Wins First Game in Kentucky: Will Stay.” The article that followed read “Joseph Rademacher Jr. of Ford River, who left a month ago to play baseball with the Jenkins, KY team, has informed friends here that he intends to stay. He pitched the season opener for Jenkins a few days ago and the team won.”
It appears that the stay at Jenkins, in the Mountain States league, was brief for he was back in Michigan for most of the summer of 1948 pitching for Channing, a semi-pro team, in the Northern Wisconsin-Michigan league.
At the start of the 1949 season Rademacher was in the Blue Ridge league playing for the Elkin Blanketeers. He posted a 2-4 record in 11 mound appearances and left that team prior to mid-July. I suspect he was unconditionally released for he was free to try out for another team
On July 14, 1949 the Chicago White Sox held a tryout camp where three boys from Escanaba attended. Of the three only Rademacher made an impression. There were “rave” comments about him in the press and it stated the 6’ 2” 195 pounder had the appearance of the making of a good major league pitcher. The news coming from that tryout was the White Sox signed him for one year and that he would report, in the spring of 1950 to their minor league training facility in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The word was that when he made it in that organization he would be assigned to the Class C Superior club in the Northern league. Nothing indicates that he played in 1950 but records do show that he was in the Korean War by 1951.
A number of articles, bearing his name, appeared in the Escanaba Daily Press, over the years. He was active in civic affairs and even in building baseball fields for youngsters in his home town. His occupation appeared in city directories as a sheet metal worker.
Joseph John Rademacher died October 25, 2011 in his native hometown. In searching other files something was found that I hadn’t expected. On a family site was his photo which was probably taken when he was in his 60’s. www.flickr.com/photos/60428361@N07/48317007492/
A comment was posted on the site where the photo was found and possibly a member of the family will be in touch. No baseball record book shows he ever played in the Mountain States or KOM leagues and its possible no one in his family ever knew about it either. By the time he was married, in 1949, his baseball days were over and his first child was not born until 1957.
If you think the name Rademacher rings a bell, it probably does. The bell rings in a boxing ring when, in 1956, a young man by the name of Pete Rademacher was the. Olympic heavyweight boxing champion. magazine.wsu.edu/2016/04/29/pete-rademacher/
He had a bout with champion, Floyd Patterson, after the Olympics and got his bell rung. Now, if you think I’m going to tell you Pete and Joseph Rademacher were brothers, you would be incorrect. Were they kin in any manner? That I don’t know as the boxing Rademacher was from the State of Washington. But, if they were kin it will probably take me another 25 years to determine. Just as it has taken that long to document some aspects of the life of Joseph John Rademacher.

The Bionic Bob Speake
During this past week an e-mail was received from the daughter of Ray Etzel who pitched for the Chanute, Kansas Athletics in 1946. Etzel was a native Topekan and lived there until his passing in May of 2006. My wife got to know his wife while working at the VA Hospital in Topeka but neither realized a common link until they met at a KOM league reunion a number of years later. Since the death of her mother and dad, Sharon has kept in touch with the KOM league news through the Flash Reports. Here is what she shared. “Hi John: We enjoyed your photos of the deer. You probably already know this, but Bob Speake is being inducted into the Shawnee County Baseball Hall of Fame tonight. I’m sending a link to the article in today’s Topeka Capital-Journal.”
www.cjonline.com/sports/.../speake-parlayed-baseball-into...
After opening the aforementioned link I sent the following note to Bob and Joan Speake. “I got a notice on the e-mail a few minutes ago about Bob being inducted into the Shawnee County Ball Hall of Fame tonight. I enjoyed the article except for the part where the writer had Bob playing for Joplin in the KOM league. Hope you are all doing well.”
Upon arising from a night of not much sleep I was made to feel better by this note from Joan Speake. “Haven't been on the computer for a couple of days but was just sitting down to write you and tell you a woman sent Bob a note saying she had sent you a link so you could see the article. There WERE a few mistakes, the first one being Joplin instead of Carthage!! The man was very nice and he and Bob had a long time together here and he was taping their conversation so how he got Joplin I don't know. Also, we have 8 grandchildren, not only 4 and Bob has never called me Joanie ...ever! His family does and all my friends in Springfield but not here because he never called me that and so our friends here always called me Joan. So another ? as to where Joanie came from? Outside of that, the rest of the article was very good, I thought. The event is a fund raiser for youth baseball in Topeka and there was a pretty good turnout.
We are doing ok. Bob is due to have cataract surgery soon, have to get that set up. We have the consultation date set. He has a pace maker now so he is getting close to being the bionic( is that the word?) man.
Hope you both are doing well and still keeping up with those cute little ones. We now have 4 great grandsons and expecting another boy in Jan. which will make 5 under the age of 4. They all live here and pretty close to us which is nice.
We miss the days of the Reunions but could not keep up with it now. Bob isn't much of a traveler any more but lots of good memories. We keep in touch with Frank Hungerford some and Paul Nichols occasionally since they were school buddies of ours and I think Barb and Gale Wade are coming through some time this year but I hope they aren't traveling in this hot weather! 114 heat index today!! Stay cool! Love, Joan and Bob.”
It was my intention to share the Topeka Capital Journal article and then point out the factual errors as it pertained to the KOM league. But, Joan took care of that in her note. In all deference to sportswriters of 2019 it is only fair to point out what transpired in 1949 is now ancient history. However, as the unofficial historian of the KOM league it does seem incumbent upon me to point out obvious errors. It could be that in another few years someone will write about the KOM league and show Joplin as a member of it with Bob Speake being their first baseman. That would cause old Carthage Cub fans to roll over in whatever place they might be by that time.
For those who care to see how Bob Speake appears today and to read the article from the Topeka Capital Journal they can click on the site cited. For those who don’t click on URL’s this is the article.

Sluggers capable of chasing Mickey Mantle for a league home run title certainly possess some prodigious power.
Bob Speake, however, used more than just his bat to challenge the Yankees icon. He also engaged the Mick in foot races.
Those skills eventually helped Speake reach the major leagues. On Tuesday, the longtime Topeka resident will be inducted into the Shawnee County Baseball Hall of Fame during a 5:30 p.m. banquet at the Ramada Hotel and Convention Center.
While playing for Joplin in the KOM League as a Class D player in 1949, Speake slugged 14 homers to seven for Mantle, who played for Independence. A year later, both played in Topeka while in the Class C Western Association. Mantle flexed his power and topped Speake in homers that year.
However, a different pregame exhibition — this was the minors, after all — is what Speake, 89, remembers best.
First, a 60-yard dash was contested down the baseline.
“Zoom,″ Speake recalled, “I remember seeing that No. 7 on his back. So, he starts giving me the what-for and I told him, ‘I’ll get you on the next one.’ ″
That contest had Speake running from second base to home; Mantle from home to second. The first to get to his destination, running the same distance, prevailed.
“Well, I had a crossover technique in running the bases,″ Speake recalled. “Of course, he’s starting at home plate with a dead start. I’m pushing off the bag. So, I won and I told him, ‘That one’s for you.’ ″
Baseball would not become the kind of career bonanza for Speake that it was for Mantle. But when he retired after the 1959 season, Speake leveraged his time in the game.
As one of the founding executives of American Investors Life, Topeka has been home to Speake. He and his wife, Joanie, raised three children here. They have four grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
Speake learned all he could about the all-important marketing arm of business when he teamed with other businessmen in his hometown of Springfield, Mo. Automatic pinsetters had just been introduced to bowling centers and the group wanted to capitalize on what was then a growing sport.
“I said, ‘Now, you guys are all businessmen. If you want to talk baseball I can talk all night. But if you want to talk business, talk slow,’ ″ Speake recalled.
“Baseball gave me a front relating to people. Business is all about marketing. My time in the bowling business gave me an education, because when I went into starting the (insurance) company, I could contribute.″
The baseball stories Speake shares to this day are wonderful, beginning with the contests against Mantle after growing up in the same region of the country at the same time.
Both were talented, though the appraisals they received from big-league scouts grew clear one day when both were in line for their Army physicals.
“Mickey had a briefcase and I didn’t have anything,″ Speake said. “I went through, and he went back to New York.″
The Army stint kept Speake out of professional baseball for two years. While training at Fort Riley, Speake played 8-man football for the base team, a natural fit since that sport was his first love and one he played collegiately for one season at what is now Missouri State. While overseas, Speake played baseball for his base team.
Eventually, Speake played all or part of nine professional seasons.
When he got his first crack at the majors in 1955 with the Chicago Cubs, he was asked by manager Stan Hack if he ever played outfield. Hank Sauer, the 1952 MVP of the National League, was out and a replacement was needed. Speake, a first baseman, recognized the opportunity.
“I played outfield one game in the service, but I wasn’t lying to him,″ Speake said. “We were in Brooklyn and after that game I played left field. I went to the public library and picked out books on playing the outfield. So, I became an outfielder. You don’t say no.″
The Cubs were glad he didn’t. That May, Speake slammed 10 home runs, though the left-handed pull hitter was not well-suited for the prevailing wind in Wrigley Field.
Speake eventually bounced between the big leagues and Triple A, hitting .256 at all levels with 137 home runs. During the era in which he played, Speake also saw first-hand the Hall of Fame impact Jackie Robinson had breaking the color barrier.
With the Cubs, Speake played with Ernie Banks. After he was traded to the Giants, he played with Willie Mays. As one of the original San Francisco Giants, the prospect of playing regularly seemed promising — until the Giants brought in Bill White, Orlando Cepeda and Willie McCovey as first basemen.
“So, my time with the Giants (81 games in 1958 and ’59) is because the Jackie Robinson experiment was successful,″ Speake said. “Now, not successful from my perspective, but for the good of the game. The writing was on the wall.″
As a successful businessman who was one of the original investors in the diamonds that have long housed the Ken Berry League, Speake still made the most of his baseball career. And he made far more than the $400 bonus he received to sign with the Cubs organization and the $10,000 stipulated in his top big-league contract.
“Again, baseball was my front,″ Speake said. “I don’t pretend to be any more than a baseball player with a few good games. My dad, when I signed my first contract, said, ‘Boy, I want to tell you one thing. Always remember, whatever your dream is, there’s always room at the top.’ ″
Eventually, Speake ascended to that very spot, as a businessman.
Ed comment:
One other item catching my eye was Joan Speake’s mention of Barbara and Gale Wade coming this way in the near future. They have to pass through Columbia, Mo. on their way to Topeka and eventually Bremerton, Washington. In times past the Wade’s have called my wife and I and we have met at a local eatery to savor some “great” food such as Scorned Woman hot sauce. Gale loves the tongue scorching, belly burning elixir. When I know his automobile will be headed west on I-70 I’ll be sure to have some on hand and we can douse or breakfast eggs or lunch barbecue with it.
Joan mentioned the past reunions in her note and stated she missed them but it wouldn’t be likely they could attend any if they were held. It dawned on me that the last one was held 11 years ago and if we scheduled one now it would be tough to find enough attendees to fill a telephone booth. But, in the era of cell phones it would be tougher to find a telephone booth than in locating enough people to fill it.

If any reader has something to share, do so. The old brain of the Flash Report editor has about atrophied to the point where nothing much emanates from it that is worth reporting.
A " brief " relationship with a troubled man gave me these bruises as a present for Christmas Day 14 yrs ago. This image of me and what a steel capped boot can do is to hopefully encourage other women feeling trapped or powerless to use photo documentation of ones own injuries IF having suffered a violent altercation with a partner. The holiday period is widely recognized as one of the most stressful times for domestic violence in NZ.

中国国家主席胡锦涛先生
全国人大常委会委员长吴邦国先生
国务院总理温家宝先生：
我是中华人民共和国公民，持有中华人民共和护照，户口居住地是上海市。今年4月1日合法出国来日本短暂休养，6月7日回国遭到上海浦东机场的警察的禁止入境，继而连续7次回国都遭非法阻止。更严重的是，2009年11月3日我第八次回国，我已回到上海浦东，在浦东国际机场宾馆住了一宿，第二天上海警察伙同日本全日空航空公司上海支店的职员动用暴力手段，将我强行拖上日本飞机，绑架至日本。因此，我拒绝入境日本，坚守一个中国人的尊严，至今已露宿日本国门外第49天。
我相信，您们已知道这起事件。现在全世界主要媒体都在报道，国内的网络也在传播，一个中国公民不能回国的悲哀故事。以前每次回国之前，我都向中国政府的相关部门告知，2009年9月1日致国家主席胡锦涛的信也转发给中共政治局常委。而且，《中国公民冯正虎第八次回国的公告》已写明：“如果上海浦东的边防警察再次拒绝我入境回国，强行“遣返”我回日本，这是给日本制造麻烦，最后日本政府会依据国际公约及中日法律强迫中国政府负起责任，必须接受本国公民。这个结局的发生是中国威信危机的开始，中国将蒙受最大耻辱，我作为一个中国人是不愿接受这种羞辱的，但我已别无选择。”
为什么我的一再劝告，这些当官的视而不见呢？或许他们除了自己的私利和乌纱帽之外，根本不顾国家的利益与声誉，也不尊重其他公民的权利，终于制造了一个中国公民八次被拒绝回国、露宿日本国门外49天的世界奇闻，让一个合法的中国公民遭受精神上的羞辱与身体上的折磨，让中国蒙受耻辱，给日本的入境审查处添加很大麻烦。现在，我已与美国好莱坞影片“The Terminal”（中文译名为“幸福终点站”）的维克多一样，已经适应在机场里的生活，等待回国。
我在这里只生活了一个多月，日本官员就没有耐心了。从12月3日起，每天发一个中日文的文件给我，还拍照为证。他们知道，这个文件发给我没有什么用处，或许是让我转交给中国政府。其实，我一回国，就不会妨碍他们工作了。现在很滑稽，日本的政府没有向中国政府或中国驻日大使馆提出抗议，而将日本官方的文件直接发给一个在日本国门外的中国公民，或许这是中日外交的新形式。一个中国公民四十几天露宿日本门外，中国政府漠不关心，中国驻日大使馆官员也不履行看望自己国民的责任，去沟通一个解决的方案。因此，日本政府对私下沟通已失去信心。
现在，我却暂时成了中国方的代表，接受日本政府部门的文件。与其是发给我，还不如说是发给中国政府。我收到一份，就会转呈中国政府。每天同一时间送达的日本政府部门文件，内容一样，仅是日期更改一下。我也按日本的要求，我致中国政府领导人的信件内容一样、日期改一下，并附上新日期的日本政府的部门文件。
今天转呈12月22日的日本官方文件，这是第20份。希望您们这些中国的最高领导人能关注，督促中国政府履行保护国民的责任，尽快结束我们中国人的国耻，让我回国，不要让日本政府为难了。
此致
敬意
中华人民共和国公民

Con motivo de los 50 años del inicio de la labor del Opus Dei en el Paraguay, se realizó un cálido acto de celebración en Asunción, con la asistencia de unas 450 personas.
Durante el evento, que tuvo lugar el 7 de abril en el Centro de Convenciones del Shopping Mariscal López de Asunción, se presentó el documental “San Josemaría y el Paraguay – testimonios”.
Estuvieron como panelistas el Vicario del Opus Dei en Paraguay, Pbro. Dr. Luis Caballero; el realizador del documental, Juan Martín Ezratty; y una periodista local, Patricia Lafuente, que brindó su testimonio sobre la positiva influencia de la Obra en su vida.
El P. Luis Caballero destacó la conveniencia de mostrar este cincuentenario con obras. Con ese objetivo se encargó la realización del video que, en 25 minutos, recoge testimonios personales de paraguayos de diversos ámbitos intercalados con fragmentos de la predicación de San Josemaría Escrivá. La cinta da a conocer también algunas de las numerosas labores sociales que impulsa el Opus Dei en Paraguay.
Juan Martín compartió con la audiencia algunas anécdotas de la producción. Ezratty, Licenciado en Comunicación por la Universidad Austral de Buenos Aires, especializado en Comunicación Audiovisual Corporativa, es el Propietario y director de la productora Dígito Identidad Visual, y ha realizado importantes trabajos entre los que se puede destacar a modo de ejemplo el documental “Francisco, un Papa entre la gente”.
Patricia Lafuente, por su parte, agradeció con emoción el ejemplo de vida de numerosas personas de la Obra a quienes fue conociendo durante los últimos 20 años y relató cómo, hace seis años, comenzó a frecuentar los medios de formación que se imparten en la Prelatura. Descubrió así un amplio horizonte de vida cristiana y actualmente es Cooperadora del Opus Dei.
La nota artística de la noche estuvo a cargo de la Sra. Teresa Vega de Vergara, quien ejecutó en arpa “Mis noches sin ti”. Teresa compartió con la audiencia la emoción sentida hace 20 años cuando ejecutó el arpa para San Josemaría.
El evento, de calidez familiar, sirvió de recordatorio de las valiosas enseñanzas de San Josemaría, que nos animan a buscar la unión con Dios en la vida cotidiana; y permitió apreciar algunos de los frutos en la sociedad paraguaya.
Fue posible comprobar cómo una fe genuina, encarnada en el trabajo, en la familia, en las relaciones sociales, mejora la vida de las personas y enriquece la cultura: es fuente de justicia, paz y desarrollo. Y es, sin duda, “un aporte importantísimo al bien común”, como señaló la presentadora del acto, la Sra. Lourdes Benítez de González.

(Wilson, Michigan) – A native plants restoration and pollinator protection workshop in July 2012 was held at the Hannahville Indian Community in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and attended by the representatives of five Michigan and Wisconsin Native American communities.
At the end of the workshop, students from the Hannahville Indian School (Nah Tah Wahsh PSA) enjoyed planting saplings including apple trees on April 12, 2012 at the Hannahville Indian Community nation.
The planting and a workshop are part of the U.S. Forest Service-funded Zaagkii Wings and Seeds Project.
With smiles on their faces and dirt on their hands, the students had fun planting the apple tree and cedar tree saplings.
Kinomaagewin-Aki: Teachings from the Earth
Videos about the workshop that include the children can be found at:
During the Hannahville workshop, a northern Michigan Native American elder said he believes something is amiss in nature and encouraged tribal communities to join with non-tribal partners for pollinator protection and the restoration of native plants.
A crisis is imminent.
Honeybees and native pollinators such as bumblebees are declining at alarming rates as the native plants that sustain them are decreasing due to habitat loss via non-native invasive plants.
“It is your responsibility – as well as ours – to be tenders of the garden,” said Earl Meshigaud, Hannahville Potawatomi Indian Community Tribal Council Member and Culture Department Director. “That’s what we were put here for – to take care of God’s Creation.”
The workshop and other related projects like a tribal greenhouse are examples of Native American tribes and the U.S. Forest Service working together to restore native plants and protect pollinators.

The workshop was entitled:
Kinomaagewin-Aki
Teachings from the Earth

(13th September) is my 21st birthday and I thought about doing this page a little differently. Obviously because it's my birthday, I've aged and time is passing.
So I decided to take some wrapping paper, ribbons, plastic, tiny parts of envelopes &tissue paper and take a colourful memento of my 21st birthday!
The Wrap This Page is from a friend of mine who is also working her way through her WTJ.
I thought the idea was pretty need and subtle. It means a lot to me and that's all that counts.
In May 2021 the Society was informed by Julie and Simon Ward who moved into number twenty-eight in 2019 that in researching the history of their house they came across this certificate presented to Mr & Mrs J.A.Brown for their renovation work on the property.
We were pleased because this enabled one of our unidentified slides to be given its proper label.

Notes about these pictures: Most of my Chemtrail pictures were taken in Dayton, Ohio--home of The Wright-Patterson Air Force Base -- final resting place of the Roswell aliens <:-0 -- and apparently from my photo and video documentation, Chemtrail Central. This area has been getting Chemtrailed on a massive, daily basis and I have 1000's of pictures and videos since I began documenting Chemtrails regularly, in late 2014. The level of Chemtrail activity here is astonishing, and is being conducted, as they say, in plain sight. Looking back through my film archive of slides & negatives, I have convincing evidence of Chemtrailing activity back to the early 1990’s, and chemtraily-looking skies back to the early 1980’s.
I am designating all my Chemtrail pictures and videos uploaded to Flickr as CC0 (Creative Commons Zero), which removes my copyright and releases them into the Public Domain. My goal is to make them available in the highest resolution possible, and without any image processing. They are archived on Flickr under "Chem Trailchaser".
I hope by making these images widely available, it will accelerate interest, research, study and more documentation from all over the world. Please, download, copy, backup, mirror, share and use & improve as many of these photos as you can! Thanks for looking - Chem

The "KdF seaside resort" in Prora
The town of Prora and the "Colossus of Rügen" – originally intended to be a seaside resort of the Nazi organization "Kraft durch Freude" (KdF) – have become well-known during the past few years and are now a must for every-one visiting the island of Rügen. Prora near Binz lies in Prorer Wiek, the most beautiful bay on the island. Here, between 1936 and 1939, the "Kraft durch Freude" organization constructed the mostly finished several kilometer long complex of buildings that were to form a resort.
The Prora complex is not just a listed monumental construction of the Nazi regime! Adjacent to the Nazi party rally grounds in Nuremberg, the KdF seaside resort in Prora is the largest architectural project of the time that was actually carried out. 20,000 people were to spend their holidays there. The seaside resort is not only interesting from the architecture perspective (implementation of modern architecture in National Socialism); it was also an element of the National Socialists’ labor and social policy, serving its aggressive military and racial policies.
The above paragraph is from this Document Center in Prora web page!

“Views of our flight over Ipswich in the Mazda airship in 1995 by Marian and Barry Jordan who are both members of The Ipswich Society.”
Back in mid May 1995 Marian and Barry Jordan had a very pleasant surprise. They had been customers of the local Mazda car dealer for some time and were regarded by them as being worthy customers.
As a reward for their custom they were selected to board the Mazda airship when it came to Ipswich on a leg of its trip round the country advertising the brand. With them came a competition winner from the area plus the pilot of the aircraft as they headed smoothly off to the north-west towards town.
The journey which took forty-five minutes, found them soaring gently to about five hundred feet over Nacton Road; cruise towards the town passing over Marion’s mother’s house in Clapgate Lane. Barry and Marian were able to continue filming and snapping away at the views before turning to fly over the town centre and the Cornhill. Although it’s not possible to see photographs of the whole trip, they flew over the north of the town towards Whitton over Whitehouse then turning towards the river following it down towards the wet dock. They flew over what was to become the Waterfront where it was possible to see the beginnings of the development there. Further down the river, Ostrich Creek was visible before sight of the glorious new Orwell Bridge came into sight. Finally, turning left they flew unhurriedly back to Ipswich airport.
On their descent they were greeted by a gang of lads - the thirteen -strong support team employed to grab the guy ropes and bring the “blimp” to a halt. Marian and Barry celebrated their trip on the May afternoon with a glass of bubbly along with the other passenger as the pilot prepared to head off on his tour round the country.
The Jordans tell us it was a smooth, exciting and pleasant journey with no hairy moments, in a space about the size of the interior of a large car, it was very noisy so they had to wear headphones but the view was splendid.
And they are still customers of Mazda Cars!
____________
According to research, 1995 was a good year for the Mazda Blimp. The ABC Lightship A60 N2022B “Mazda” was chartered for nine months, in which time it is toured 125 dealers being used to entertain clients and impress locals. It was recorded in June in Southend and filmed over Worcester in September. Mazda's marketing manager at the time said: 'When it's in an area it's a superb means of outgunning our rivals.'
There were some drawbacks, however, most notably the weather. At one point, one airship was grounded for three weeks because of low cloud and there was also the matter of its stately pace. 'When you move on to the next location it can take a long time to get there. 'You might spend two or three days flying over cows and sheep.' reported a spokesman at the time
