On tonight's episode of "Undercover Boss" on
CBS, president and CEO Andy Wirth gets a makeover and goes undercover to
Lake Tahoe, Calif. The Squaw Valley mountain is famous for hosting the
1960 Winter Olympics and the epicenter of big mountain skiing. Alpine
Meadows offers a family-friendly atmosphere with excellent snow sports
for the entire family. The founder of the empire was Conrad Wirth,
Andy's grandfather, who was the Director of the National Parks Services
for eleven years. When Andy took over, he purchased Alpine Meadows to
give the two resorts a more family-friendly atmosphere, where Squaw
Valley mainly catered to the expert skiers.
Although it is true that bigger
vehicles consume more fuel, it doesn't mean they are less fuel
efficient. Fuel efficiency is getting the most amount of energy from
every amount of fuel that enters the engine. It means that the vehicle
is able to make full use of the fuel it gets.
According to statistics, the average household income in 1970 was
$8,734 and it rose to $16,461 in 1979. The unemployment rate was 3.5% in
1970 and up and down all decade landing at 8.5% in 1979. Heart disease
was and still is the leading cause of death. Also, Aids and HIV was
discovered in the seventies. There were many major medical break
throughs in the 1970's. One of the most noted being the completion of
the MRI scan in 1977. My mother recalls having medical insurance and
being able to get a tooth pulled at the dentist for $15.00.

Skip: "Not sure, --maybe a skunk, dead frogs, the water
smells sometimes; maybe shit, who knows up here, could be a combination
... let's shut our windows." As another mile goes by it
starts to get a little foggy looking out the window, shadows seem to be
everywhere. See

My mother and father enjoyed much of their leisure time with
drive in movies, watching TV shows such as MASH, All in the Family,
Dukes of Hazard, and Andy Griffith. They enjoyed the music of Merle
Haggard, Freddy Hart and Conway Twitty. Lastly, they enjoyed fast cars
as well as many people did in the seventies. Drag racing was a fun event
for both my mother and my father. In the seventies my father owned a
1972 Ford Galaxy 500, 1970 Road Runner, 1973 Ranchero, and a 1976
buy truck
head. The cost of a new
vehicle was around $6000. Over all, the most rememberable event for my
mother in the seventies was in 1977 when Elvis Presley died. To digress a bit, I need to tell you that Sgt. Grace lied. First,
the language I was assigned to study was Vietnamese. Second, after going
through the 101st Airborne Division's jungle combat school in Phan Rang,
I was assigned to the 1st Brigade, a reactionary unit. I joined them in
Dak To, and early the next morning was flown out to join an artillery
battery in what was called "Operation Eagle Bait". Didn't take long to
find out we were the bait, and Charlie was the eagle. The objective was
to tempt the Viet Cong into attacking us, then bring in an assault wave
of Huey's loaded with infantry, and wipe the enemy out. What I quickly
discovered is that there is nothing in the world comparable to the first
night you are brought out of a deep sleep by M-60 machine gun fire. Skip: "Yaw, I can see that, let me yell at him: --'Hay stupid, yaw
you, what you doing!"' Amery looks at Skip as if that might not be the
smartest thing to do. He also stated that his is looking
forward to Palmer and Ochocinco's replacements in the Bengals first
round pick receiver A.J. Green and quarterback Andy Dalton.
