(00:00):
Yes, I was born and raisedin a Tumblin. Yeah, here we
go. All right, Jack,what are your your memories? Help me
tell the people about what our townwas like. Oh, when I was
growing up. I was born innineteen forty eight, so I'm getting kind
of old right now. But wehad a Miss Miss Usa then she became
Miss Universe. Yeah that was Carol, Carol Morris. Yeah, there you
(00:24):
go. Yeah, I remember watchingthe parade come up up Chester Avenue Tour
is what we call we used tocall Junior High School called Evans. I
was a Southsider little block away fromthere and able to watch that parade and
whatnot. Yeah, so I thinkpeople forget, like, okay, so
(00:44):
that was actually a pretty big deal. And I read about this. This
is like late fifties, right,it's fifty six, fifty seven, but
okay, it was on national TV, and everybody was just it was just
everybody just did oh of her winningthat title. She was very pretty good,
very nice lady. She even waswe had a big swimming pool,
(01:07):
public pool there, and she wasa wife guard there at one time.
Uh and yeah, okay, yeah, So so it's interesting that you mentioned
Carol Morris because I totally forgot aboutthat part of like like she's a Tumbel
legend. A few years back,when I learned about her, I did
email her Jack, and I gotshe She eventually did email me back,
(01:29):
but she she basically, I havethe email here. She's been living in
Texas for like most of her adultlife. After that she got married and
it's been in Texas. But shesays, she sent me an email and
said she can't believe people are stilltalking about the like that beauty pageant from
(01:49):
the nineteen fifties still, but heyin a tumb was like that was a
huge deal, Jack, you knowwhat I mean? Well, yeah,
it wasn't it was a great deal. Was even tumble was even mentioned on
international TV show It's called It's aboutthe US Army. I can't remember exactly
the title of it, but therewas a young man was going to be
going into the army. They andthis TV show, it was a national
(02:14):
show. It came on on Saturdays, I think, and they followed this
kid through through this draft period andgoing into the army. He was from
a double and who knows, right, well, this is a thing,
though, Jack. We got afew of these good positive stories and I'm
glad you called in because it makesme feel a lot less lonely. You
(02:35):
live in Omaha, now, yeah, we live in Papillion. I was
in the Air Force for twenty fouryears. And thank you for your service,
James. Well you're welcome. Oneother thing is people forget that John
Morell Meat Company was was made startedout right in tell Line, that big
Morell plant down downtown on the onthe East End. And boy, yeah
(03:01):
they moved their they moved their headquartersfrom Autumn went to Chicago, and that
just yeah, you know, Trumblesort of went went down a little bit
after that. Yeah, the floodof forty seven and the morale leaving town,
those are definitely like the two thingsthat people always talk about. It's
kind of like kind of slowed thetown down. Hey, Jack, I
(03:21):
really appreciate this. We could reminisceon a tumbla for so long, but
I really appreciate you calling in andsharing some of your memories, and again,
thanks for all the service that youdid for our country. He's no
problem. Thanks little to you allthe time. So that's good. I
appreciate I appreciate it, Jack.That means a lot to us too.
Yeah, So how about that.There's a guy twenty four years serving our
(03:42):
nation and he's living over here.He lives in Papillion, and he was
born in my hometown. Let usgo he was born in forty eight.
Yeah, a flood of forty seven? What do you? What do you?
What are you saying? What areyou? What are you suggesting?
I'm suggesting, come on, let'slet's bake this a little further. It's
not even half bakedale, let's keepbaking. I'm just saying, he's born
in forty eight. There was aflood of forty seven. Maybe there was
(04:05):
a period of time of confined spaceduring those so you think things so forty
days and forty nights for Noah,I don't know how long it was for
a tumula. But I'm just saying, so what you're suggesting lightly here,
Yeah, with minimal evidence, wedon't know how the timeline between the birthday
(04:26):
of you know, Jack here andthe actual flooding of a tumblin nineteen forty
seven. What you're saying, though, in insinuating, is that much like
there is going to be a generationof children that are going to be identified
as COVID babies, ah, thatthere's a generation of a tumb Winds that
(04:46):
were probably born in the late fortiesthat you are going to suggest are flood
babies. Is that? Is that? Am am? I following here?
I think so. I think there'sa direct correlation based on this anecdotal evidence.
I've got my crayons out, mypushpins, and my balls of yarn.
I'm making all sorts of wild assumptions. The problem that you're looking at
(05:08):
is the map that you're using tocreate this is Nebraska. We're talking about
Iowa. You're getting your hair's crossedin the wrong state. I'm not I'm
not using Nebraska specifically. Yeah,that's the map that you have in front
of you. Oh oh, areyou talking literally? I didn't know we
were. I didn't know we driftedinto literal. I'm sticking of the hypothetical
(05:28):
frame here. So flood babies.Yeah, So what would we need to
do to prove this. We'd haveto go back and look at the birth
records of a Tumlaw. Yeah,and exactly the dates of the flood of
forty seven. Yes, flood,I'm going to find this out right now.
Flood of forty seven, a TumlahJune sixth, nineteen forty seven,
(05:49):
is when the flood started, andthe flooding didn't end at least the river
didn't recede back to where you could, you know, enjoy walking on streets
again in downtown until the fifteenth.So there was a nine day period June,
like March of forty seven. Isis Jack still on the line?
Does it look like he's on theline. Let's let's see, pull him
(06:11):
back up, Pull Jack back up. Let's see if Matt's gonna try to
get Jake. I don't think Jackhung up on the phone yet, Like,
all right, all right? Ishe there? Is he there?
All right? Jack? Can youtell me your birth month? Please?
Oh, July thirteenth, My birthdayJuly forty eighth, Okay, July,
Matt, does that count because hewould have had to have been I hate
(06:32):
to talk about your parents this way, Jack, but he would have been
conceived in like the fall of fortyseven, at least three months after after
the flood of forty seven, andthe floodwaters, as I've noted here,
has receded on the fifteenth of June. So I think that kind of like
blows your cover just a little bit. Yeah, that doesn't mean there's not
(06:54):
a ton of babies born in Marchof forty eight. It's just, you
know, not this one. Well, I apologize for the insinuation. Jack.
The timeline doesn't quite doesn't quite lineup. I know that's okay,
Jack, your radio star now,man, thanks for hanging on there.
Thank you service. Yeah, goota question for you, thank you,
(07:15):
good question for you. What whatpart of town were you born and raised?
In? Southside? I went toelementary school at Wildwood Elementary. Oh
well, I looked on and livedon Avenue, which is about a couple
of blocks down. That's where Iwent to kindergarten in first grade, and
then we went to Saint Patrick's School. Nice. Sure, Yeah, that's
(07:35):
awesome. Yeah. I grew upon the Couldesac known as Riverside Lane,
not too far from Wildwood. Soyeah, yeah, yeah, good memories,
man, Jack, Thanks so muchfor calling. This was fun.
Thank you for being a part ofour show. All right, thank you,
bye bye. Matt. Is thatthe first time that we've brought a
caller back that that was still hangingon the line after I ended the call?
(07:55):
I think so that's good. That'sgood. Even though you you keep
the half baked idea coming. We'regonna land on one of them at some
point here, you know. II just I heard the year and that
was my first thought. All right, Well, you know what, you're
