    @Hal Pollner Are you suggesting I have to be in my 80's before I'm qualified to have a 'warm' discussion? :p

    My first boyfriend in high school was named Hudson. My father called him "Super 6" and we didn't get it until years later. :D

    Yes indeed! After all, we who are less than say.......80(?) are to be seen and not heard in the company of our elders. Why, Hal and Lon might be listening to a copy of Rusty Warren and heavens knows we can’t be hanging around whilst the big people play the comedic soundings of one so ribald.

    I would stay up late at night listening to radio series on my transistor radio. Although most of them began before I was born, they were still aired while I was a child. We didn't have television until I was a teenager, so I listened to the radio shows often.

    I remember when we had a crank phone, and my dad had a car with rumble seats, and which started with a crank. I also had a Grafanola, with a crank.

    Warmly,
    Hal
    Not at all, @Bess Barber!
    But when you're in your 80's, the things you recall with nostalgia today will be even more precious!

    Warmly,
    Hal

    I don't doubt that at all, @Lon Tanner, with you being a couple years my Senior!

    Oh my......I'll turn into my mom who tells the SAME stories at least once a month. I never know whether to tell her I've heard it a hundred times or just play along and act interested. :D

    I remember "Don Winslow of the Navy"!


    It was in comic book form and was popular during the War years and even after 1945.

    I saw it in a movie series around 1950, certainly by then a re-showing. About 30 minute episodes, one weekly on Saturday mornings.
