Hans Remembers- Tuesday June 23, 1970- 50 years ago.
- The heir apparent to the throne of the United Kingdom- Prince Charles [ wow he’s still waiting} received the Bachelor of Arts degree from Trinity College, Cambridge becoming the first future British monarch to obtain a college diploma.
- Chubby Checker was arrested in Niagara Falls for possession of marijuana- the charges would later be dropped. Imagine a musician who smoked dope.
- The final Red Skelton Show on CBS-TV was shown- the show would move to NBC-TV. The show at NBC would be of a different format and didn’t take off- it was cancelled in 1971. The Red Skelton Show had begun in 1952. That kind of entertainment was quickly fading from the television.
- Richard Starkey aka Ringo Starr released his second album in 1970- Beaucoups of Blues. The album featured Ringo’s country and western influences.
- The controversial U.S. Congressman Adam Clayton Powell who had served three different districts in New York since 1945 was defeated by Charles Rangel in the Democratic primary. Rangel would go on to serve until 2017. There needs to be term limits. Just saying.
- American aviator and airplane racing champion Roscoe Turner died at 74.

Amazing Prince Charles was the first monarch to be with a college degree! I like the last pic except for him holding the lion cub, that’s just unnecessary!
I had never thought of it- about a member of the monarch and a college degree- makes sense that it never happened until fairly recently. Not that he would wish for him mother to die but I am sure 50 years ago that he would have thought 50 years later he’s still be waiting… The Queen Mom lived to be over 100 so he may be in for a longer wait!
I wonder if he’s happy to wait or frustrated? Seems like a more carefree life for him the way it is, but who knows…
I don’t think it is probably that big of a deal to him. At least it wouldn’t be to me- he can’t avoid the spotlight as it is.
“He’s still waiting…” LOL! The beotch won’t get off the damn throne! LOL!
Red Skelton was a scream.
Yes. Term limits. And, they will NEVER happen.
