Now I have to chime in, how about Rocky Point Clam Chowder at the shore dinner hall. And speaking of some childhood amusment parks don't forget Cresent Park and Jolly Charlies. Also saw an add on tv the other night with Sally Fields in it and I mentioned she looked pretty good for her age, no one in the house new who she was so I said "Remeber she was on "The Flying Nun".... Crickets and blank stares from all. I am now old as crap. |

Has anyone mentioned an FM converter, I hooked one up under the dash of my 69 Ford Falcon and rocked the car through that one speaker in the center of the dash. |

81, perhaps the kids might recognize Smokey and the Bandit, better than Flying Nun.
A couple of other favorites I thought of today that are gone: - Ford Ranchero - Chevy El Camino BKH |

Steve how about using a folded up book of matches wedged under the 8 track cartridge so it would only play one track at a time. |

Great with Soda! 
There is a great candy store on Route 1 in Kittery ME. called Yummies. They sell just about any kind of candy you can think of. Does anyone remember the candy cigarettes? As I recall there were two kinds - the hard stick of sugar with a red tip and the gum wrapped in paper. The gum one had powdered sugar or corn starch under the wrapper so if you blew air through the wrapper and it looked like a puff of smoke. Kyle |

Yea I remember candy that came 2 for a penny, 5 cent bag of chips or chocolate bar. A Coke machine that would give a bottle of soda for a dime. Gas @ $.27 a gal, cigarette pack for $.25, Woodstock, draft cards and burning them.
The womens "go braless" revolution. The Vietnam War on TV every night. I was in second grade for the JFK assasignation. Man landing on the moon. Ah, the good old days |
