My ongoing, online, elementary school reunion (first mentioned back in June<\/strong><\/a>) suffered a brief hiatus when the politics got too hot and heavy, but I’m glad to say that we’re back in action albeit with more benign subject matter. We are currently focused on childhood memories of school plays, favorite foods, birthday parties and tv shows. One of the “boys” remembered playing frogman in the bathtub with another “boy.” The response?<\/p>\n

Frogmen? In my bathtub? I remember being obsessed with scuba divers, having decided that this would be my future career at an early age after watching some TV show with Lloyd Bridges about divers. But I don’t recall playing with you in my bathtub.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The tv show seems to have been Seahunt, but I thought it might have been Diver Dan, which I remember watching. That led another classsmate to send me the lyrics and a link to hear Diver Dan<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Below in the deep there’s adventure and danger;
\nThat’s where you’ll find Diver Dan!
\nThe sights that he sees are surprising and stranger
\nThan ever you’ll see on the land!
\nHe moves among creatures
\nOf frightening features:
\nFlashing teeth, slashing jaws,
\nFlapping fins, snapping claws!
\nHe protects and he saves
\nHis friends under the waves;
\nThat’s where you’ll find Diver Dan!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh my, what we can find online. Suddenly, instead of working, I am trolling for sounds from childhood tv shows, such as Batman<\/strong><\/a>, Casper the Friendly Ghost<\/strong><\/a> ( I remember the visual, but I have no recollection of this audio), but I do remember this sound of the Chipmunks<\/strong><\/a>, and then there was Dick Tracy<\/strong><\/a> and of course Dudley Do-Right<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

As you can see, I didn’t get past the Ds yet, but break time is over and it’s back to work for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
