    Post The End of Miss America

    This is an interesting story about the demise of the Miss America Pageant. I remember watching this as a kid and being enthralled. Sad.

    Let's not forget Ohio's Back to Back Champion, Mary Katherine Campbell, Miss America 1922 and 1923 -- (Take that Archie Griffin):

    Let's not also forget Ohio's back to back championships in 62 and 63 --

    A line from the article....

    You aren’t supposed to call Miss America a pageant. Instead, it’s a competition for scholarships.
    ...made me think of this Letterman interview with Kelly Cash in 1986.

    Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.” - Robert E. Howard

    "Only a rank degenerate would drive 1,500 miles across Texas and not eat a chicken fried steak." - Larry McMurtry
