No, I'm not a Philly guy, I was born (Camden Homeopathic Hospital) and 
raised (Deer Park & Gibbsboro) in Camden County.  I did attend a game at 
one of the stadiums with the Cub Scouts, but did not know nor care where 
I was or what I was watching.

I didn't attend a one room school but did attend a four room school.

I remember going into the hall for civil defense drills and under the 
desk for disciplinary reasons.  I think I spent time in the coat room too.

Hopalong Cassidy on the radio and when I carried the table radio with 
the large knob up against my stomach, I couldn't understand why Hoppy 
was no longer there.

Daniel Boone's Coonskin Cap made out of real raccoon skin and fur. 
 Still have it in the box!  And when a neighbor's dog took off with the 
tail, chasing after it during school time.

Watching the swearing in of Ike on TV, Sergeant Bilko, The Life of 
Riley, I Remember Mama, Texaco Star Theater, Your Show of Shows, I Love 
Lucy, The Honeymooners, Amos and Andy, Steve Allen before Jack Parr, 
Coronation of the Queen of England, Dorsey Bros, Spike Jones, Paul 
Whiteman, Howdy Doody, Sally Star, Chief Halftown, Mr. Rivets, Andy 
Divine with Midnight the Cat, Froggy and Buster Brown who lived in a shoe.
