When parents had to devise ways to keep the kids entertained on long auto trips--no hand-held electronic games in the "olden days".

I remember trying to look like Marcia Brady, and having Donny Osmond and the Osmond brothers plastered all over my bedroom.

I remember the morning Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.

I remember playing dodge ball and kick ball in our road in the summer with the neighbor kids until mom started flashing the porch light on and off for us to come in for the night.

I remember watching The Brady Bunch, Partridge Family, the Odd Couple and then Love American Style on ABC every Friday night.

I remember watching Nixon bawling when he resigned. I think maybe that's when the ball started rolling "downhill"?

I remember watching "Diver Dan" when I was a child. Remember Baron Barracuda who sounded alittle like Bella Lugosi, and how about Miss Minerva?

I remember McDonald's sold a hamburger for 10 cents, fries 15 cents and a soft-drink was 15cents. The first time I remember eating at a McD's was in Lincoln Neb 1954.

I remember when a pair of sneakers (yeah, we called 'em sneakers) went for $6.99

I remember when gas was 29 cents a gallon.

I remember the Big Blackout in New York City--I mean, the first one.
