''THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT''



            REMEMBER THESE GUYS?

Over 30 years ago,these two gentleman were familiar                 faces on our 21'' television sets.

A bit of nostalgia and trivia---
Bartles & Jaymes -  These two country gentlemenwere the commercial spokesmen for Bartles & Jaymes Wine Coolers from 1985-91. Exuding down home honesty and backwoods charm Frank Bartles (David Joseph Rufkahr) and Ed Jaymes (Dick Maugg) sat on the front porch of their country home and related messages about the delicious, refreshing alcoholic beverage which bore their name "Bartles & Jaymes Premium Wine Cooler."
Frank Bartles (in the fedora) did all of the talking while Ed Jaymes (in the baseball cap) listened quietly to his partner and the reasons why people should drink their wine coolers. At the conclusion of each commercial, Frank politely said, "And thank you for your support."
The Frank & Ed spots were created for Gallo Wines by Hal Riney & Partners (formerly Ogilvy & Mathers/SF). Hal Riney wrote 143 of the 230 TV spots. Directed by Joe Pytka, the commercials won an ANDY in 1986 for the best print and broadcast advertisement.
After the ad campaign finished Dave (the talker) and Dick (the quiet one) did some regional spots and became, for a time, spokespersons for Golf Digest.


Richard A. "Dick" Maugg, a former general contractor and Alpha Rho '53 alumni from the University of Washington, returned to his contracting business, Maugg Construction. David Rufkahr died of a heart attack in April 1996 at the age of 61.



Fairways watch would like to ''echo'' their phrase ''Thank you for your support----Not only to the majority of our residents,--but also to the wonderful folks at the sheriff's office.
  The great turn out and program for our first night out was only possible because of the support of all.
  Next year we promise an even bigger event and an extended program at our new Masters clubhouse. All of the officers were impressed by our audience and the intelligent questions asked of them.. 
  With this type of response,--we are assured of future security programs from OCSO.

  ''THANK YOU FOR YOUR   SUPPORT''
