circa 1956: Renato Carosone and his band play their 1950's hit Italian song. Yolanda Be Cool did a 2010 remake (click to see the YouTube video) which the young men in the tailgate spot next to us played (for hours this 2011 football season) as part of a loop.

College Football needs a Prefontaine

| Steve Bence and Ake Svensson 1974, Vastervicks, Sweden |
"In a summer 1974 race Oregon's Steve Bence beats Ake Svensson, Sweden's 800-meter record-holder, in Vastervicks, Sweden, while competing for money against AAU & NCAA rules. Bence was in Europe in part to show solidarity with Steve Prefontaine, the Oregon runner who rebelled against the Amateur Athletic Union."
Several current stories bothered me about the relationship between today's college football athletes and the NCAA governing body. I suggested to the Oregonian that they could wirte a story to compare football today with Prefontaine and the AAU governing body from the 1970's.
Oregonian sports writer Rachel Bachman contacted to me and by the end of the process I wrote the article with Rachel's expert coaching and guidance.
Below is the article as printed in the Oregonian:

Bence Family: 1960 Hong Kong
After a Nike workshop in Oregon with several co-workers from China, I was inspired to take my father's digitized 8mm movie (filmed when we were Air Force and transfering from Tokyo to Ohio in 1960), I combined it with some current music ("Hong Kong" by Ganymede), and made this video. The older of the two boys is 6-year old me!
