Detailing over 30 years of audio and video obsession

Tues., July something, 1985
Jul 23rd
I’ve been out of school since June 14. Now I have a summer job (volunteer though) as a counselor for St. Clement’s summer camp. Today, we went to the Zoo, and if it wasn’t Maria Feeley driving me crazy, it was a “new” girl that did, Nancy Matthison. So, here goes my new list:
1. Lauren Chicklo
2. Nancy Matthison
3. Stacey Sweeney
4. Maria Feeley
Note from present day Mike: St. Clement’s summer camp was based right out of Finnegan’s playground in Southwest Philly. As you can see below, for some reason, Nancy Matthison’s actual handwritten name tag was preserved and affixed to this actual journal entry! I’ve apparently held on to it since that day in July, 1985… 25 years ago.

Ya think she might need it back?
The MIDA Tapes: Part 4 | PlaybackShack.com
Mar 20th
Part 4 of the MIDA Tapes features a couple more installments of FWA Update and a couple more “wrestling superstars” of the Foy Wrestling Alliance: “Mean” Gene Reed (who later changed his ring name to “Fists of Fury” Reed) and “The Korean Ninja” Joe Harley, who was my best pal growing up. Eugene was Dave’s good friend and classmate from St. Clement’s grade school in Southwest Philly.
Dave, Eugene and I attempted to get a telephone interview with another FWA star, “Wild” Bill Chong, but his father wouldn’t let him come to the phone! Funnier than that is Dave and Gene attempting a duet version of the Mr. Ed theme.
