I remember when Tiny Tim got married on the Johnny Carson show.

[@violetdreams1799]

me too..Miss Vicky and Tiny Tim...the only wedding on the Tonight Show, i believe

[@161papa]

"That ticket went down in flames", it certainly did. I saw Tiny Tim in concert, he was actually very good. Great stuff, thanks Jeff.

[@jbenziggy]

Yeah, he didn’t always sing with his falsetto and when he sang regularly, he was quite good. I’m assuming you saw him later in his life?

[@161papa]

@@jbenziggy Yes, I did, early 90s. He was part of an oldies concert which included Donnie Brooks, The Tokes and Micky Dolenz.

[@nadiemequire]

During his presidential campaign in '68, Hubert Humphrey landed at LAX. A bunch of us college students decided to go and greet him. Even though at the time we weren't old enough to vote. We were able to actually shake his hand. As a plus, we also got a chance to say hello to Edie Adams who was there to show support.

[@jbenziggy]

It’s always exciting to me to meet a presidential candidate or a president!

[@aaronlopez492]

The speach of 1968 announcing his Presidential run is one that's sorely need it today. Thank you.

[@jbenziggy]

Tell me about it! Humphrey was a good man.

[@BillGreenAZ]

As a kid at the time, I could never appreciate his eloquence. He really had a way with words.

[@vargasfamily282]

I liked Humphrey and I voted for him in the 4th grade class election. Unfortunately he lost in our classroom, which made me ask what’s wrong with you guys? Can’t you see he’s the better choice?

[@danpatch4751]

Growing up in Minnesota the first governor i remember was Wendell Anderson, he would do a state of the state speech fairly often. My first automotive job was in south Minneapolis as an oil change tech. One day the customer pulled his car in and sat down and was reading the newspaper while glancing at me from time to time and smiling. When I finished the oil change and he paid at the counter, i was helping guide him out of the building and he waived and i finally recognized him and turned to my boss and started to say and my boss said yeah that was" Fritz"Walter Mondale. I was at that cemetery years ago with a group of people and didn't get to tour it like i wanted to. Thanks for the tour. There is a memorial of the plane crash site of Paul Wellstone and his family at the crash site near Eveleth. Thanks again for sharing this video with us.😊

[@dam00k]

If you google ‘democrat’ and ‘images’ there’s my parents wedding photo but here’s a dichotomy: Mom campaigned for Eisenhower (my brother stole the “I like Ike” button out of her jewelry box before we settled the estate) and Dad hated Humphrey because he was hawkish on Vietnam. The woman who broke my heart twice is buried there, I still love her. Aunt Glad and Uncle Bark are interred in the same mausoleum as Tiny Tim. Right across from Lake Calhoun (Bde Maka Ska), quite a few friends and family are at rest there. It’s a beautiful cemetery and holds a very special place in my heart. I’m glad you visited, this stirred my memory. If you went to White Castle I hope you only got coffee or a milkshake, everything else on the menu is disgusting. 🤮

[@jbenziggy]

Being that Sarah is from Minnesota, we’ve been there at least three times and we tried White Castle one time and we did not like the burgers or the sliders or whatever you call them. I think we did go to Perkins though and a number of restaurants unique to that area around Forest Lake Minnesota.

Yes and if I had two days I probably couldn’t have covered all of them!

You seem to find the most interesting people to highlight in your cemetery visits. Tiny Tim always had a very creepy vibe when I was a kid, he still does.

Hi Jeff and Sarah .... the day after Tiny Tim was on the LAUGH IN SHOW he was all the talk at my Jr High school we thought he was weird but still cool.

[@cnph7067]

Lakewood is a beautiful cemetery at least I remember it that way as a kid in the 70’s. I have a couple relatives buried there and had relatives from both sides of my parents family's that lived within walking distance of there. Almost every year as a kid I left the SF Bay Area for the Twin Cities where I was born and all my relatives on both sides of my parents families lived. Spent many a 4th of July around the lakes in that area (Cedar, Lake of the Isles, Calhoun and Harriet) swimming, bike riding, watching the fireworks.

[@jacquestedcooper]

I loved every second of this video! The great Hubert Humphrey, Rudy Perpich who came from the Iron Range, the Dayton family who also produced a governor, Mark Dayton, and the honorable Paul Wellstone. It still makes me sad to think how his life was so tragically cut short. He truly represented the working man. Senator Wellstone started out as a professor at Carlton College. I also wrote a letter to Wendell Anderson for a class project in 6th grade. I think I still have it. Lakewood is a beautiful cemetery. I agree, I love learning about people who shaped our communities and not just celebrities. I’ve really enjoyed all your videos from Minnesota. Great job!

[@bmepdoc9675]

Another great episode, Jeff. Good to see Sarah, too! How serendipitous. Just last night I was watching a Dean Martin Celebrity Roast of Hubert Humphrey and the inimitable faux drunk Foster Brooks hilariously lampooned him as 'Hubey The Boobie' :)

[@jbenziggy]

Oh that Dean Martin! What a character!

[@carmyne6970]

I got to shake hands with Hubert Humphrey when he was running for president in 1972. He came to the Steel town in Pennsylvania that I was from and just happened to be walking down the street backed by security shaking hands.

[@irishgip71]

Great one yet again sir. Tiny Tim was well known and loved. Thank u for sharing sir.

He did seem like a really genuine and loving person aside from his strange rendition of tiptoe through the tulips.

If you come to my home state of Illinois, please keep in mind that there is so much more to this state than just Chicago. They tend to suck the oxygen out of the room, but Illinois is nearly 400 miles long and has a lot to offer outside of the Chicago area. I’ll come up with a list of my recommendations for you to visit in Illinois when I have the time and will post it in the comments of one of your videos.

When I was in the 1st grade, Humphrey arrived at or school in a helicopter. Jefferson Elementary in Davenport IA. He landed on the lot next to the playground, came through the play ground into the school. Don't remember much else. Didn't know who he was until then, but never forgot him for sure. This was late 60s, so was VP at the time.

[@jbenziggy]

Wow! What an experience! The only thing that comes close was when a congressman showed up and kids rolled pennies across the gym floor as he spoke!

[@juliogonzales5441]

[@fanofrunbot9771]

Shook hands with the Hump in 1968 in New London, CT. Excellent video and great research on clips. I like your cemetery approach unlike other KZbinrs. Well researched, profound and honest commentary and especially trying to find good in all individuals regardless of what they may or may not have done right.

[@jbenziggy]

So you have really paid me a high compliment and I thank you. The way I see it some of the people that I highlight I would not support politically, but they are part of history and they should not be forgotten. Already have had a number of people comment that they hated the video because I showed Democrats, but there aren’t many Republicans buried there that I could highlight. Because we are so divided in our country people get offended when you look back at historical figures who are public officials because they don’t like the party

No doubt! I must say that I kept remarking to Sarah that I absolutely love Minnesota and wouldn’t mind living there, but the winters would be something that would prevent us from doing that. Sarah was up there in February 2013 to say goodbye to her father and it was 20 below zero and she told me it was unbearable.

Definitely a different type of collection of famous people in this one. I don’t know if you heard him, but Tiny Tim also sang in a regular manly voice, and he was quite a singer. He was also not as strange acting as an older man as he was in the 1960s.

Another great look at pivotal figures in our history. I wish we could return to the innocent days of our youth. I shared your enthusiasm as a child for all things like this. But, at my age now I find myself disgusted by politics and politicians. But, back in the 70's, it was different - the mood of the nation seemed different. My buddies and I were enthusiastic and of course the bicentennial consumed us. I still keep bicentennial quarters that show up in my change. You found a ton of famous people in this episode! Any plans to return to Cheyenne, WY? Please let us know and we'll get you access to F. E. Warren AFB for a tour, to include the cemetery on base where German POW's are buried.

[@jbenziggy]

You know our country has probably always been very partisan even from the days of Abraham Lincoln and before. I just don’t think we knew that when we were kids. Everything seemed so much more innocent and it probably wasn’t. But I must say that the politicians weren’t as divisive as they are today. And what’s going on with our justice department going after a leading presidential candidate is great cause for concern in my opinion. Having said that while I would enjoy going back to Cheyenne, I don’t have any immediate plans to do so. At some point I need to go visit my father who is down in Alabama so hopefully I’ll be able to do that this year because we have regular jobs that requires us to be home most of the time we are not able to do a lot of traveling, unfortunately. thank you so much for sharing your memories of the 1970s. I treasure them because I think those were the best days of our lives.

There are a lot of notable contributors to society, from Minnesota. There is a Cargill heir living nearby in western Colorado. Keinath is the last name. I researched them and discovered they originated in Minneapolis.

We both have a love for Humphrey . I met him in 1968 at Camden, NJ. It's a shame how people would say he talked like , porky the pig cartoon. I was only 10 years old. He talked about solar energy. And just think , we would never had Richard Milhouse Nixon. Would be better today ? I think so. And another AWESOME video.

Very thoughtful and well done overview of Lakewood Cemetery. However, you misspoke about the Dayton Family. George Draper Dayton founded Dayton’s Department Stores (Not Draper Dept Stores). Also, Target was not established until 1962, when the first Target opened in Roseville, MN. Also, the Dayton family started multiple regional shopping malls in this region (Nicknamed “the Dales” which created the first enclosed shopping mall in the country in Edina, MN in 1956, called Southdale.

Jeff & Sarah Your tour was very insightful and interesting I might add ! You never cease to amaze your viewers with great content and your great research on your subject matter. I really enjoy your video clips on the subjects you discuss. I broke out laughing when you played the video clips of Tiny Tim, I remember him well and he was quite unusual for sure. Thank you again for your dedication to bringing history alive, your the best !!
