Ira, your story about driving uphill backwards to get gas to the carburetor was just great...isn't it stories like these what genealogy is about--sure makes me wish I'd paid more attention to my grandparents stories when they were still here. Does anyone remember the green, red, and blue film(?) sheets put on televisions to give you color? My daddy convinced us kids we were rich because we had color t.v.! [verrrry naive girls :-)] My grandson was watching the rerun for the 25-year Mickey Mouse reunion not too long ago and was amazed that the original Mousketeers are still alive. He was even more incredulous when we told him that was our favorite t.v. show and we would hurry to finish all our homework so we could see it! His comment, "you mean you watched that on t.v. I didn't know you were THAT old." (emphasis his!) Sharon
