OMG.... I remember too many of these. My first car was a Nash Rambler! I paid $150.00 for it. Who the heck is Howdy Dowdy?

"Oly-oly-oxen-free" made perfect sense?"

OK, that NEVER made sense.

Hi, Dolly!

I remember sitting at the Comic Book rack at the local Grand Union and paging through 10 cent Sgt. Rock, Batman, generaly any DC comic. Wasn't much of a Superman fan.

10 cent 6 1/2 oz. Cokes in bottles.

Spending the day collecting NeHi, RC Cola, Coke, Upper Ten bottles at nearby consruction site. Taking them to the liquor store and getting at least $1.01 for a Monogram, Revelle, Hawk or Airfix model.

Mattel "Fanner 50" Cowboy pistols that could be loaded with spring loaded 'bullets" that reqired "Greenie-Stick On Caps" stuck on the base of the brass cartridge to make the pistol go "Bang!" an let the small plastic bullets fly.

Kenner Construction sets with bases, beams, struts and angles to create building or houses. The also made pretty neat Spaceships!

"Blue and Grey" Civil War sets with cannons that fired and bridges that blew up.

Buying a few sacks of Green Army Men and placing them in battle scenes. Then taking BB Guns and rifles to them.

Taking Renwal Model Warships out in the back yard. Putting firecrackers all over them. Squeezing a few tubes of glue over the firecrackers and models. Then setting them on fire.

Getting only three local and three Baltimore stations on our old Zenith B&W set.

Popping bags of popcorn. Filling the cooler with sodas. Loading my brother, sister, our friends and I into our Falcon Station Wagon and going to the Dusk to Dawn horror shows at local Drive-Ins.

Jack.

I just got to this list and might I say that one can still leave the keys in the ignition in front of the house on some military installations...

Otherwise, it is still a "remember when..." sort of life.
