About 1960 I played the part of the bride's father in a shotgun wedding at my Jr. highschool in San Diego. I remember taking my Fox Sterlingworth to school each of the several days we gave a performance. In addition, I loaded black powder blanks and fired off two of them on stage during the play. Although it woke up a few inattentive parents in the audience, no one thought it was a really big deal. Try that in a San Diego school today! Bill Frech
