San Jose State?

Is Ronald Reagans picture supposed to be ironic, or were you a young Republican?

I saw the picture and thought it was Tim Allen, till I zoomed in haha

I thought it was Jimmy Carter at first and was like "cool", then zoomed in and was like "oh, huh"

I kind of looks like Ronnie has a pencil going thru his head so I’m guessing ironic.

Oh yeah, theres something there

I think being a republican was sort of edgy at the time like wearing a MAGA hat on campus now.

Yes. San Jose State finished with a degree in Business Management and Economics.

Ben Shapiro?

Ha ha. I was and still am a fan Metallica and other metal bands. Licensed to Ill did come out that year and we did listen to it as did everyone at the time.

I was not a young Republican. My Dad was an immigrant and worked in the coal mines for 13 years so I was kind of young and skeptical. There was always an imminant threat of nuclear war at that point so that was likely my main concern. I wasn't a huge critic and in retrospect a lot was accomplished through "peace through strength".

No. Reagan has a missle through his ears. lol I was at the time a member of the local Peace Center.

Downtown San Jose has improved since 1986 but I bet it was a fun time.

Hummmmm Baby! I remember.

Michael P Keaton

Were they out of Mussolini posters?

Hummm baby

Reagan?

Jams ftw

OK, I’ll take a stab at the player pics. Bob Brenly and Burt Campaneris?

And why the Canadian flag?

OK... question from north of the border. Why the Canadian flag? Nice to see it whatever the reason.

Yo is that a Babar stuffy!?

I remember those Rossi STS’s.

Thumb breaker poles?

I think it's actually a missile.

Bert Campy Campaneris and Juan Marichal. Impressive guess.

Yes I ended up owning a business just west of downtown. It was somewhat of a landmark across the street from the Pink Poodle.

Yes. With a missle through his head. lol

I had a cousin that lived in Burlington Ontario and I had just spent the summer of 86' with her. My Dad immigrated to the US and his brother immigrated to Canada. They were both coal miners. My cousin ended up marrying my best friend and now lives here in the Bay Area.

In the summer of 82' I worked at Marriot's Great America in the games dept. I was very good at winning stuffed animals and would normally give them away. I saved a couple which I ended up giving to my kids.

I loved those skis and yes good eye. There is a lot going on in that picture so that is why I posted it. Lot's of memories.

What did you do after that? San Jose is great

Not sure what's worse, the shorts or the Reagen poster.

One outta two ain’t bad. What’s JM doing in what appears as a catchers squat? If the pic showed Juan in his definitive pitching pose, it would have been a sure giveaway. I saw both those guys on the field back in the day.

Not sure why he was squatting, but both were legends. I saw both at the end of their careeers.

I was working at an Italian market/deli for the original owner who had it for about 38 years. I ended up owning and working there for 27 years and sold it in 2008. I'm still in San Jose.

Thanks... it really is wonderful how our two countries are intertwined through family and friendships.
