Conrad Espew: 1921
Submitted by Dave on Thu, 02/21/2008 - 6:08pm.
1921. Washington, D.C. "Conrad Espew, George Washington University." 4x5 glass negative, National Photo Company Collection. View full size. Anyone out there have an old GW yearbook? I wonder if Espew is really anyone's last name.

H.C. Espey

There was an H.C. Espey who graduated from GWU in 1924. A simple spelling error could be the cause of the slightly different last name.
Maybe his first name was something horrible like Horatius or Horemheb and he went by his middle name, Conrad.
There was also an Emolyn Espey who graduated from GWU that year. A Louise Espey graduated in 1926. His sisters or maybe a sister and a wife.

Conrad's socks

The black socks with shorts- I can see him at age 70, telling his wife he's been dressing like that for years, years I tell you! And so he goes out to the mall.
I zabasearched Espew. Not one came up. Who was this man?
And what were the rules for piano-basketball?
