Weathermen

A small controversy is brewing in these parts over the background of a supporter of one of the democratic party candidates for governor.

People are accusing some fellow of accepting money from a ont-time member of the Weather Underground.

Weather Underground (The Weathermen) were scouring the earth in the 1970's - about the same time as our country was in an awful conflict over the future of Vietnam.

Most people alive today (maybe an exaggeration) don't even know where Vietnam is on a map, let alone know who The Weathermen were, or what they did.

And Weather Underground - an online weather forecasting site.

Weathermen today in our part of the work appear on television every day to tell us what the weather is predicted to be for the next few hours.   Some of our weathermen are now called forecasters.  Once in a while they actually look out the door and see what it is is now.

In my mind, the weathermen I most remember are Bob McCoy (KOB-TV) and Howard Morgan and Thermo (KOAT-TV).
