Wonder who's still around? I mean Yoda is like 800 years old.
Who's left?
McHatton, Shaw, Sloan, Doyle, Clampett, O'Grady . . .
Any others? Where are they now? What are they doing?
Y'all should have a reunion . . . I'll fry some chicken and taters.
We need to get y'all together before y'all are extinct. The Few and The Proud.
Time to draw a family tree - Homer's children (Ben Doyle and those who attended those first 3 GSED/M classes) have had their own offspring too - there appear to be patterns of TGM style within the extended family...
do we agree that as long as 3 imperatives are intact then the TGM DNA runs through all of them ...even though a few of the family members may not look exactly like their forefather!

Exactly why I think it would be cool to talk to those that spent time with the dude that wrote the book.
Lets compile the list of attendees at GSEM/D classes run by Homer... ( obviously Ben Doyle is assumed first born son because Homer introduced him directly)
Lynn Blake
Greg McHatton
Mike Jacobs
Shaw?
SLoan?
Any others...
Yoda... can you remember your fellow students?
Did Bobby Clampett ever meet Homer? or was it done indirectly through Ben Doyle?
I have read that Mac O'Grady had phone conversations but not direct contact
Either way they both always pay due credit to his influence.
The Australian phenomenon is pretty interesting from a "genetic" point of view... Tom Tomasello had big impact it seems... Croker teaches his swing ( with lots of emphasis on right forearm feels but in a swinging sense) . and they have Paul Smith and Paul Hart who seem fairly orthodox in their TGM.
Mac had many conversations with homer. And did have one personal lesson from homer, he stood in the plastic plane pulled off the wall and that year got his tour card.

I think Mike Holder the former Oklahoma State University golf coach and current athletic director attended Homer Kelley's workshops in Seattle.

I'd like to meet Bruce Hough. He sounded like he had a lot of knowledge and asked great questions in one of the G.S.E.M. classes.

Where is that dude? I figured Mike O would have "off'ed" most of these cats by now . . .
How about the model in the book... I believe her name is Diane?
