I think he could of made a judgment call on sample need...which probably didn't fit postal regulations.

Steve Clarkson was one of my best friends. I'll tell you a funny story about Jacky. Every time I saw Jacky he would say,"Hey Klein, you owe me 50 cents". Then he would recite whatever zip code I was, at the time, living in. I never remember borrowing 50 cents, but maybe I did !!! I loved Jacky very much. There will never be another like him !!! There is another wonderful story that should be recorded. My niece Cathy, and a few other girls, were living on MacPherson's mail route. On day he had hundreds and hundreds of Tampax samples to pass out. Maybe he was lazy, or maybe he felt that the girls were in need, but he left the whole pile, on their doorstep. They were set for years !!!! As I approach my 75th birthday, I often reflect on what a wonderful life we had, growing up in La Jolla. Later, Bill Jamie – I remember that Christmas card.

Great post! I think Mike McCartney's track records are still on the books...what a great athlete! The Dilly Dallies! Don't forget Steve Clarkson. Jack and Steve Clarkson had a Christmas card tradition...they sent this one Christmas card back and forth to each other for 25 years! Whoever had it, would cross out the bottom name and sign their John Hancock and date it...talk about recycling. Bill Klein! Great post!

It was Junior Jackson (not Johnson). There are too many wonderful memories to immortalized at this time, however one sad note I will recall. Junior and Al Chapman were, tragically killed in a car accident. Good friends lost too early. Oh!...Cookie was a skinny kid, until he ate too many of his own Bully burgers. One day I will relate some stories about the "Dilly Dallies". Including Mac, Little Diff, Kenny Easton, myself, and a few other crazy kids. One correction concerning the relay team.

One of his favorite stories involved the 1954-1955 La Jolla High relay team (Mike McCartney, Cookie Taylor, Junior Johnson and Jack)...against an East San Diego high school...he said you were their #1 cheerleader and fan! He also had a set of black and white photos of a 1971 trip at Salton Sea with you and your family...there was a classic shot of Jack...wearing a wig or something (he was totally buffed)...I asked him what the wig was and he laughed and said it was your bathing cap...it was the best photo! I used it on the party invitation for his 50th Birthday party at the West End in 1987. He really loved your family.... Lorenza Taylor…Jack absolutly LOVED you and your family.

I am a La Jollan. My husband was a member of the early group. His Name was Darnes Johnson. The picture on page 4 of your article includes my deceased husband and I wanted to give you the correct spelling and tell you who he was.
