I remembered everything but Blackjack Chewing Gum and Newsreels before the movies. I had a bit of an edge tho - my uncle loved old cars; and he had a Packard; and his daughters drove a Studebaker to school...I loved riding with him in his Model T and Model A.There were 16 people on our party line when I was a kid; our ring was two longs and 2 shorts; and we were Glendale 92297.
Thanks for the nostalgia trip - I enjoyed it!
Glad to see you back - you were missed!
