This page is for life long friends (more like brothers)
who shared partying, smoking, drinking, and cute girlfriends during our high school days at the Bomb Shelter.
For clarification, a few of us had nicknames back in those days.
Art Rausch, AKA Maynard
Milt Cooper, AKA Ruggles
Les May, AKA 'The May'
Don Garner, AKA Nuts
Milt Cooper, AKA Ruggles
Glen Carroll, AKA Wanda (only sometimes)
Rick Bird, sorry no AKA.
The Bomb Shelter is a storage area with concrete walls, floor
and ceiling at Glen's parent's home that Glen, Rick and others made into a mini-type Playboy party
room. At one end was a record player and speakers. The other end was
a built-in orange couch. The two longer walls had wood paneling up about three feet from the floor and then burlap the
rest of the way up. The floor had carpet and the ceiling was a collage of Playboy centerfolds. Of course, all
tastefully done.
The room dimensions are about 6 feet wide and maybe 12 feet long and mostly
sound proof. It got quite a reputation during the early 60s around the Ogden area. Luckily for us, Glen's
parents put up with our shenanigans, allowing us all these wonderful, and occasionally
not so wonderful memories.
I'll be adding more to this page as I
collect pictures from those who partied there.
