THE WAYDS (from Oregon City), started in early 1965 and went on through the end of 1968. We played all the school sock hops in the Portland area, and just about all the "Battle of the Bands" that happened in that time frame, which included the giant "Teen Fair" battles at the Portland Memorial Coliseum.Dick Schalk, 9 May 2003

We were playing at the 1966 Clackamas JCs Battle of the Bands at Camp Withycombe in Clackamas, Oregon. We didn't win first place as a band, but our drummer, 12 year old Jimmy Hopkins won the "BEST DRUMMER" prize and trophy. That's Jim, sitting at his drums, with the trophy sitting on the floor tom.Dick Schalk, 10 May 2003, 30 December 2005
