    The first time I ever traveled to California, in the late 60s, I made a point of going to the Jay Ward store, which I think was in Burbank near the NBC plant. Still have some small items I got there.

    The rock group Tower of Power once asked in song, “What is Hip?”. Jay Ward and Bill Scott provided the answer.
