I worked nights at Clarence E Hancock Field in Syracuse in late 63 and 64. We had a pilot come in with a charter around one AM who was very distraught and shaking. I asked him what was wrong and he explained that he was transporting a corpse, and during an extremely rough stretch of air, he hit some really nasty "bumps" and the corpse would grunt, and even groaned once during a very long bump!

The teacher introduced us to mainly "G RATED" stuff..but surprisingly he introduced us to a comedian that I doubt 1 in 10,000 people today ever heard of......
