Potomac - WCHS - Early Days

Thirty-nine years ago and it seems like yesterday. Lately I’ve been going to a few basketball games with some friends to watch their son who plays for Whitman. Last night was the Churchill-Whitman game and I had not been back to the school since a visit in 1969. By the way, for five bucks these games have plenty of action, great seats and offer a heavy dose of nostalgia sitting in the bleachers of the high school gym where you graduated almost four decades ago. I decided to drive my old route to school from our former family home, through Potomac to Churchill. Coming from Herndon, VA, I go across the Cabin John Bridge, exit off on the parkway towards MacArthur. Brickyard is too congested this time of evening so I head up towards Great Falls. I'm thinking about the time spent in the '63 Chevy Impala Hardtop Coupe, 327 250HP, 4-speed Borg Warner, later upgraded to Muncie close ratio. Probably would fetch $25,000. I sold this car to Andy Hatch in 1968 and when we pulled the heads off, there was not a spec of carbon. Wonder how that happened? I always thought this car was faster than a normal 250HP and it turned out to have a balanced and blueprinted engine when Andy tore it down. He bought the car and put a 396 block in it. The day I took delivery of the Camaro, Tod Theros, (red/black/black 1966 396/350 Chevelle convertible) and I took a cab to Rosenthal Chevrolet so he could drive it home for me. The car did make it to the Churchill parking lot in the Fall of 1969 when I traded Mickey Curro for his TR-3 for a week, causing the reigning muscle car, a hemi engined Boss 429 Mustang, to be knocked off its pedestal when its owner backed down from a challenge to a "speed event." That Mustang is worth really big money these days, I'm guessing around $300,000-$400,000, only 1,359 were ever produced. I cruise past Old Angler’s Inn, lots of memories there, none from high school though. Things look pretty much unchanged, I’ve been down this way hundreds of times since Churchill, but for this ride I want to be living in the past. Near Falls Rd. on the right, the Frank Lloyd Wright Wannabe development, Picasso Lane. Then Fawcett Rd.
