Get Ready Cause Here We Come...Encore.
Jim, Richard, Reggie, & the Wolf 1968
... gonna try to make you love me too, so get ready...
We spent most of the collegiate years (66-71) selling Good Humor ice cream, and grooving to the Motown sounds of the Temptations.
Jim, Richard, and the Wolf attended Norfolk State. Reggie attended Howard University:

While he didn't work for Good Humor, Alex was a part of the " in-crowd" and attended Norfolk State, along with the Loveman, Jimmy Lee, and a host of others referenced in Chapter 3 _ Just A Little Bit Of Soap.
I attended "historically white" Central Connecticut State, where (perhaps) my greatest social contribution to the student body was the Temptation's album Get Ready, along with first hand instructions on how to dance to "soul music".
My little sister Shirley ocassionally came up to help out.
Around the Good Humor plant we were known as "the Bronx Division": We worked from 233rd street down into Harlem, year-in and year-out, without losing a man, while leading the company in sales.
Of course thats not news worthy.
[ But let that dimwit "Happyman" get caught selling drugs from his truck; and boom ... the cover of Life Magazine!]
The Good Humor Years and the Yellow House Years overlapped; basically I lived in one environ during the summer, and another during the winter:
A real Good Humor bar, you might say,.. behind my back, of course.
