I'm old enough to remember hearing them on the Radio when I was a child. Also remember listening to The Green Hornet, Buz Sawyer and a show about some Pilots who flew airplanes in a squadron called "The Flying Tigers". When our home got a Television Set I remember watching: Captain Video, Kukla Fran and Ollie, Howdy Doody, Milton Berle(sp?), and a Lady Singer who I can't recall her name. Remembering those old shows brings grins to my face. I like trying to get Grins from salespeople while I'm shopping in a store. I will say things like: "Thank You for helping me, it proves I'm not so far gone to be helped." Because everyone has to wear masks in public the only way to tell if I made the person grin is to look at their eyes and eyebrows to see if I put a smile on their face. 73 de Ed W9ODR dit dit .... Sane? Heck, if I was sane why would I be here? --- MultiMail/MS-DOS v0.49 * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105) .
