What Makes Sammy Speed?!

By Pam Jorgensen -
My Dad was in a movie to prevent teenage speeding way back in 1957. As children we heard about this movie all the time but never saw it. Tonight my Dad called to inform me that he found the movie in 2 parts on YouTube!! Proof! My Dad plays Sammy and he's in the striped shirt. Wasn't he dreamy?!

Part One



Part Two



Sad and tragic ending...did you learn why it's not good to speed?

LOL...I left your dad a comment. That movie actually has a pretty applicable message for today's drivers!

What's it like being a 2nd generation starlet? Did the paparazzi follow you around like Suri?

How fun to have found this!

why, why, WHY!!!! If only he had better self esteme - if only he were not so sneaky with the cops - oh, if only. Sammy would be with us now....


Wow, I really got into that - yes he was dreamy for a guy that went to HS in the 50's. My dad really did blow up a bridge - wish they would have made a movie about that. He also had a liscense plate that said "halfast" (Yes, can be pronounced two ways) Tell you dad, he can make more movies - he has a following now:-)

That is so great. I think that's what Chase is going to look like when he grows up. Know I can report another "star sighting"! :)

Has my absence made your heart grow fonder?

By Pam Jorgensen -
Just wondering... I'm back I'm behind I'm intimidated There is no way that I can "catch up" with this blog.  It's a daunting task.  It's one reason I'm so far behind!  I want to post but then I see the enormous amount of time and posts that have past since my last and I walk away. So...I will sum up.   Sorry...wordy and no pictures. After our fun trip to Moberly, MO, we joined Jen, her kids and Gma J in a caravan to SLC for the Plewe Family Reunion.  We were so excited to be traveling with family making travel life more fun with cousins!  We did have fun but the hellish travel trends continued to plague us!  At one stop Gma locked her keys in the car...we waited for a LONG time till AAA could come and break us in.  This put us into our first stop pretty late but nothing unmanageable.  However, when we got to our hotel in Cheyenne, WY the hotel we had a reservation at (and called to confirm just a couple hours before) had given our ...
