Just a little nugget to toss you all today. Someone posted this almost exactly 43 year-old video on Twitter this week. It’s a report I did for CBS News in 1980 on the eruption of Mount St. Helens, and how some entrepreneurs, including a guy named “Captain Volcano,” made a little money off it.
I figured I’d share the clip. Enjoy.
And that’s the way it is, Thursday May 29, 1980.
What a memory to have worked with suggest a great legend. I mean you Walter!
Still laughing.....I'll say this, that Captain Volcano looks like a real pain in the ash. Thanks for the lift Sir Bernie.
I wonder what trinkets are appropriate from Portland, today? The hazmat suit may still be appropriate...
Sir Bernie::::thank you for the nostalgic re-Hash; funny to see you Bash on Captain Volcano and his personal Stash. You got out the Lash but if your clothes got dirty from the Ash, did Mrs. Goldberg wash your laundry with Dash as you watched an episode of “M*A*S*H” while eating corned beef hash? Welll Sufferin’ Succotash!
