We have had close to 200 people attend the first two workshops, and just over 100 people the last workshop. Meeting Highlights There was much excitement to see output from the first two workshops. Comments were wide-ranging, but there was palpable support for design renderings, new facilities, and appreciation for the parallel, deliberate traffic planning process announced at the meeting and general responsiveness of the project team. Parallel Traffic Study and Engagement: Neighbors felt heard and agreed the engagement of traffic and planning expert Dan Burden of Blue Zones was a critical and positive step forward in the effort to manage traffic and parking at the site. Neighbors and the project team are looking forward to the first of three traffic-specific workshops, which begin on March 1. Additional workshops will be held on March 22 and April 26. Building Design and Materiality: The February 22 meeting showcased the most detailed building renderings to date. Attendees enjoyed the new aesthetic, which the project team is calling “Bay Region Style,” as well as the permeability of the facilities and each building’s integration and flow with the park. Lastly, there was universal appreciation for the kept promise of keeping height and scale appropriate for the neighborhood. Continued Pg. 3 2 Improved Intra-Park Circulation: Acknowledging it’s still an early concept, the idea of using electric trams to bolster park circulation, especially for seniors, was very popular. Attendees agreed it would allow for more parking flexibility and increased utilization of the nearby SamTrans stop while providing a good alternative for those needing physical assistance. Green space and trees: Plans to maximize green space and maintain the large trees along Madison Ave. were celebrated, as was the modest footprint that eliminated encroachment on Red Morton Park. The new, smaller envelope also reinforced to community members the project team is listening and has taken concerns seriously. The pedestrian promenade: Separate from the reclaimed green space around the facilities, further programming detail of the pedestrian promenade received renewed accolades. Attendees were keenly aware proper lighting is necessary for safety and night time enjoyment. The public process: As noted above, inclusion of a separate traffic study and engagement process was widely appreciated, as were updates to the plans, program, and design that had been discussed individually and at the preceding workshops. Areas for Further Study Parking and Traffic: Parking and traffic were the most frequently discussed issues of concern. Veterans: There was continued discussion about ensuring the project properly honors veterans. The primary request is to retain “Veterans Memorial” as the building name, and no longer combine it with the “seniors” designation, and to discontinue usage of the VMSC acronym. It was noted by including “seniors” in the name of the building the homage to veterans is diminished. Lastly, the veterans in attendance reiterated their request for better displays and storage for their memorabilia, and designated space for meetings and activity. An outdoor memorial was suggested in addition to the inside displays. Holistic park-wide transportation: As noted, there was much support for the idea of free electric tram/shuttle service both around the park and to/from points of interest in Redwood City. Community members understood it required considerable study, but as a concept it was quite popular. There were also requests to refocus on bicycle parking and paths throughout the park, and ways for the public to enter the aquatics areas without going through the main YMCA entrance. Green space: Support remained steady to maintain trees and eliminate infringements on park space. There was more excitement for the promenade. Negative reactions to maximizing green space were nearly non-existent; however, there were a handful of suggestions to either shrink the promenade or other park boundary areas to allow for more parking capacity. There was one suggestion to make the building taller to maintain usable square footage but allow more space for parking. Aquatics: Plans showing an indoor and outdoor pool were met with general approval. Questions remained regarding the depth of the respective pools, access for non-YMCA and low-income community members, and how general programming demands will be balanced. Efficient Use of Space: The renderings of the lobbies of each facility led to questions by some whether the lobbies could be scaled down to allow more of each building envelope to be used for programming space. The concern was also raised that a large, high-ceilinged lobby could provide a difficult acoustical environment for seniors. Several commenters noted they would like to see smaller, more intimate spaces for conversation. The next step in the process is make a presentation to City Council at the March 12th meeting that will focus on an update on the project, what we’ve heard from the public and stakeholders to date, and receive direction on the conceptual plan. 3 Lyft to the Doctor And the Veterans Memorial Senior Center Need a Lyft to our Center or to the Doctor’s Office?

Wherever there was room enough for throngs of fans to dance, there was a band. There were radio, juke boxes and record players to bring the sound close to home. This era of over 400 bands ranged from Duke Ellington’s swing to Guy Lombardo’s extra sweet.

We would like to give a special shout out to the Friends of the Veterans Memorial Senior Center for securing the funding from the Sequoia Health Care District in order to assist the City of Redwood City for the cost of the free lunch program. This is truly the definition of a community partnership! The photo on the cover was taken looking west over the Senior Center at 2:50 pm on September 9th, 2020. It was so dark and eerie that day due to the wildfires. As you can see even the outdoor lighting on the building was on during the middle of the day! Hopefully we won’t see many days like that anymore. In this issue of the Sentinel we have included some Funny songs, an I Spy game and some upcoming community events. There is a page if you would like to start a new Pen pal to exchange letters. Also, we have taken some pictured of friends that just wanted to say hi!

  • A Biographical Sketch Native-Texan Louise Tobin Hucko
    Louise Tobin Hucko: A Biographical Sketch Native-Texan Louise Tobin Hucko (b. 1918, Aubrey, TX) grew up in Denton in a large family that sang and played music together. She was the fourth youngest of eleven children and the only one to make music her profession. Louise remembers the teenagers playing ukuleles on the porch and rushing home from school at lunch to listen to Louis Armstrong on the radio. After winning a CBS Radio Talent Contest in 1932, she toured the larger Texas cities as part of the Interstate Theatre Circuit, singing with society dance orchestras, led by such figures as Hyman Charninsky and Al Kvale. After joining Art Hicks and His Orchestra in 1934, she met Harry James who was playing first trumpet. This ensemble was one of several Texas territory bands of the 1930s that ventured outside the state in hopes of reaching a national audience. In late 1934-early 1935 they made their way to Albany, New York, with stops in Oklahoma and Ohio. By this time Benny Goodman had hit; the swing era had begun. Shortly after their arrival in New York, the Art Hicks Orchestra disbanded. A very young Louise, age 15, and Harry, who had just turned 18 married in May 1935. The newlyweds, who kept the elopement a secret from her family, were now looking for work. Harry accepted an offer to play third trumpet with the Herman Waldman Orchestra back down south in Shreveport. “He hated it and actually lost his lip for awhile!,” Louise recalls. With the help of Texan-band leader, Ligon Smith, Louise found work around Texas, singing with orchestras led by Smith, Charlie Davis, and Carlos Shaw.

  • Great Instrumental
    I grew up during the heyday of pop instrumental music in the 1950s and the 1960s (there were 30 instrumental hits in the Top 40 in 1961), and I would listen to the radio faithfully for the 30 seconds before the hourly news when they would play instrumentals (however the first 45’s I bought were vocals: Bimbo by Jim Reeves in 1954, The Ballad of Davy Crockett with the flip side Farewell by Fess Parker in 1955, and Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford in 1956). I also listened to my Dad’s 78s, and my favorite song of those was Raymond Scott’s Powerhouse from 1937 (which was often heard in Warner Bros. cartoons). and to records that my friends had, and that their parents had - artists such as: (This is not meant to be a complete or definitive list of the music of these artists, or a definitive list of instrumental artists – rather it is just a list of many of the instrumental songs I heard and loved when I was growing up - therefore this list just goes up to the early 1970s): Floyd Cramer (Last Date and On the Rebound and Let’s Go and Hot Pepper and Flip Flop & Bob and The First Hurt and Fancy Pants and Shrum and All Keyed Up and San Antonio Rose and [These Are] The Young Years and What’d I Say and Java and How High the Moon), The Ventures (Walk Don't Run and Walk Don’t Run ‘64 and Perfidia and Ram-Bunk-Shush and Diamond Head and The Cruel Sea and Hawaii Five-O and Oh Pretty Woman and Go and Pedal Pusher and Tall Cool One and Slaughter on Tenth Avenue), Booker T.

PO Box 1236 Saratoga Springs NY 12866 USA harry james big band series indiana (1939) Harry James Biography: One of the most exciting and technically proficient trumpeters of all time, Harry James left behind a substantial legacy of recordings and performances that continue to delight listeners to this day. Born into a family of traveling circus performers in 1916, James looked primed to live a life in the family business, performing as a contortionist as a young boy. At age 10, however, he began taking trumpet lessons from his father, developing a stunning level of technical proficiency by the time he was in his mid-teens. Joining up with the Benny Goodman Orchestra in 1937, James quickly became one of the band’s star soloists. Leaving Goodman two years later, he formed his first orchestra (featuring a young Frank Sinatra as its male vocalist). The band’s greatest commercial success would come in the early 1940s, when it expanded to include a string section and focused on achieving a “sweeter” sound than most contemporary outlets.

  • Radio Recordings
    RADIO RECORDINGS "Uncle Sam Presents" March 25, 1944 (NBC Disc) AAFTC Orchestra Directed by Capt. Glenn Miller Dennis M. Spragg October 2013 1 Preserving Broadcasting and Musical History Many individuals and organizations have possession of the surviving recordings of radio programs. There were several methods by which radio programs circa 1935- 1950 containing musical content were recorded and preserved. Following is a general summary of the types of recordings that were made and how many of them survive at the Glenn Miller Archive and elsewhere. 1. Radio Networks The national radio networks in the United States as of 1941 consisted of the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) with its Red and Blue Networks, the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) and the Mutual Broadcasting System (Mutual). In addition, several regional networks existed with member stations that were also affiliated with the national services. Mutual was a cooperative effort led by several large local station owners in Chicago (WGN), Los Angeles (KHJ) and New York (WOR). NBC also operated an International Division or its White Network, which broadcast shortwave signals overseas from transmitters on both coasts operated by the General Electric Company. NBC and CBS each owned the federally regulated maximum of local stations, including: NBC Red – WEAF, New York; WMAQ, Chicago and KPO, San Francisco; NBC Blue – WJZ New York; WENR, Chicago and KGO, San Francisco. NBC did not own stations at this time in Los Angeles. Its powerful Southern California affiliate was the Earle C. Anthony Company, owner of KFI (Red) and KECA (Blue). CBS-owned stations included WABC, New York, WBBM, Chicago and KNX, Los Angeles.
