  • The History of the Turtles Featuring Flo & Eddie
    THE HISTORY OF THE TURTLES FEATURING FLO & EDDIE Very few rock performers have remained as vital through the 1960s, ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s and the new millennium as have Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman... and as The Turtles, featuring Flo & Eddie, they continue to maintain a vigorous tour schedule. Two guys from Westchester. That's how Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan (aka Flo and Eddie) refer to themselves. Two slightly bewildered kids thrust into the fast lane of rock 'n' roll stardom - hits, fame, national tours, hanging out with the Beatles, joining the Mothers of Invention, acting in the 200 Motels movie, and on and on ... Two guys from Westchester. Howard Kaylan (changed in 1965 from Kaplan, because that's how it always looked when he wrote his name) was born June 22, 1947 in the Bronx, and spent his first eight years in Manhattan before his father took a job with General Electric in Utica, New York. After the family moved there for a year or so, they moved to the Los Angeles area, settling in Westchester. Mark Volman was born April 19, 1947. After a brief period living in Redondo Beach, his family moved nearby to Westchester. Little did they know it at the time, but both Mark's and Howard's musical direction was forged by a crusty, old Mr. Ferguson who gave clarinet lessons in a drafty cubicle above the Westchester Music Store. Mark went to Orville Wright Jr. High, while Howard went to Airport Jr. High. They didn't know each other, but they both pursed their lips around clarinet reeds for Mr.

By Ben Goertzel I was thinking a little more about the current economic situation and why it seems so confusing to people, including experts. Part of the problem is just that the systems involved are so complex, of course -- the economy has complexified and the human brain has not kept up. Another part of the problem, though, is that none of the traditional economic theories (neither the mathematical ones or the qualitative ones) embrace this complexity in principle . I.e., the very fact of the increased complexity of the economy has direct implications, which seem to require introduction of new approaches for economic analysis.

    SOUTHWESTERN WRITERS COLLECTION SPECIAL COLLECTIONS - ALBERT B. ALKEK LIBRARY TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY - SAN MARCOS Grover Lewis Papers, 1955-2005 Collection 085 89 boxes plus oversize (36 linear feet) Acquisition: Gift of Rae Lewis. Note: Contact the SWWC for information about additional materials from this writer that have not yet been fully processed. Access: Open for Research. Processed by: Jeremey E. Cagle, 2006 Grover Lewis Papers SWWC Collection 085 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Grover Virgil Lewis, Jr. was born November 8, 1934, in San Antonio, Texas. Tragedy struck the Lewis family when Grover was eight years old during an encounter between Grover’s mother and his estranged father that led to a double-homicide with each parent allegedly murdering the other by gunshot. Lewis was soon removed to Fort Worth, Texas, where he lived with the blight of, in his own words, a “haunted” and “painful” existence while in the abusive household of his maternal aunt and her husband.1 After five years, he fled to live with his uncle, “Spook” Bailey, in the Dallas suburb of Oak Cliff. At Oak Cliff, Lewis attended W.H. Adamson High School and worked at the Texas Theater, a site made infamous some years later as the location where Lee Harvey Oswald was taken into custody. He graduated from Adamson in 1953 and moved to Denton to attend North Texas State College where he majored in English and Drama. It was around this time that Lewis married and fathered a son and a daughter with his first wife, Peggy. At North Texas he also found a “kindred spirit” in future Pulitzer Prize- winner Larry McMurtry.
