Addendum

I'm adding this short blog entry in response to the many viewers who have phoned in or voiced the concern thru emails regarding my last post about the 1974 road trip to Vernon. In particular, they wanted to know the status, both then and now, of Don's badly wounded knee, injured in a nasty fall down a steep, rocky hillside.

Yes, Don eventually healed up 100% from his accident and made his return that Autumn as the starting quarterback of our beloved Block Blazers. But as can be seen (above) in this ultra-rare super 8 footage (kneeage?) shot on location from the front porch of EVERT'S home (so we DID get to see Evert again that summer!) Don is still not ready for anything more than a few practice throws to his favorite wide receiver.

Frequent visitor to the "No Relevant Point" blog, Bartholomew Woods might be pleased to discover in this video, that even the cool jocks (like EVERT) occasionally wore black stockings with their shorts in summer - although it is still very much a fashion blunder for the rest of us.
