Marty: I went begging in the 30's and 40's. I am now 74! Ann In a message dated 10/24/2006 7:48:04 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: When was that? I was born in Jersey City but my folks moved to Dover and then Little Falls. I can remember in the early 50's doing Halloween at home and then doing it again when we went to my Uncle Walter's for Thanksgiving.
