This picture of a 1969 sweatshirt requires a little explanation for 98% of you. Students who worked at KBPS, the radio station at Benson High, Portland, Ore., loved to go sit in the control rooms of area radio stations, an activity frequently facilitated by fellow alumni―there wasn’t a station in the area that didn’t harbor at least one KBPS alum.

Jim Fenwick was a phenomenally popular talk show host at KGW-AM; famously full of himself. His engineer, John Humes, was a KBPS alum. A few of us were regulars in the control room during Fenwick’s nightly show. We came up with the idea of irritating Fenwick by forming a fan club… for his engineer. Many’s the time I proudly wore this shirt―obscure outside of a small circle even at the time.

I have been in recent touch with a high school buddy, Gene Carbaugh. I mentioned casually I wished I hadn’t thrown out my JHFC sweatshirt. The next thing I know, this arrives in the mail.
