OAR HOUSE & Buffalo Chips
Trivia click on photos (except guess who)
|
Ironically, it was forbidden to photograph the interior
of the OAR HOUSE, a rule that was strictly enforced.
The few existing photos of the pre-fire OAR HOUSE were
done after hours by the in-house art dept. or by
employees.
Check out the Oar
House Timeline. Can you think of any notables?

The art below was originally created
as an Oar House poster by Tony Bell. It featured several Oar
icons including Jenx who said he wanted to be stuffed and hung in
the Oar House when he died - can you find him? |

TThe above
artwork was drawn by
Tony Bell to generate
interest in the remodel of the Oar House after the fire in Dec.
1973. The Image is of CEO
Al Ehringer, WA senior Capt. and shown here with a Gen Douglas
MacArthur-esque demeanor.

He Googled the Oar House name and found us. We've nicknamed him The
Ras-Mataze and dusted off an old barstool in front of station
5 for his trouble.
