Rick George is on the right. His family owned George's Music Service on N. Oak Trafficway. Rick played guitar, banjo, and other instruments in a variety of bands through the years. He won first place in the National Guitar Flat Pick Championship in 1974, and second place in 1989. This was my band, the American Music Band, playing in the courtyard at Oak Park on Earth Day. From l-r: Charlie Zych (guitar), Tim Osburn, (drums) Gary Worth (guitar) and Rick Bowman (bass). The guy at the microphone is Ray Smith, the leader of the first Earth Day activities at OPHS. Ray later became a preacher. This was our Celebration of Earth Day,we had no classes that day. We spent the day listening to bands, assembling, and the main goal to clean the school and the campus! I remember picking up trash and cigarette butts.

For the most part I believe we felt a sense of accomplishment, and ready to take on the world!
