Remembering Doug Harvey, Dan Gurney, Edwin Hawkins

Doug Harvey was the top umpire in baseball for over 30 years. His no-nonsense approach, knowledge of the rules, and his silver hair made him a respected figure across the game. Dan Gurney was a racecar driver, often considered the best of his generation in both Europe and the US. He was a team owner and an innovator having devised the full- ace helmet and the aerodynamic “Gurney flap”. He may also have been the first to spray champagne as part of a victory celebration. Edwin Hawkins was the Bay Area gospel musician, whose 1970 crossover hit “Oh, Happy Day” became an enduring classic.
