Holding on to yesterday

rod

Retired 22 years
UPS cop hats, and green wool coats.

I believe cop hats (we called them bus driver caps) and bow ties were discontinued the year before I started. The lockers were full of discarded bow ties. The old guys at that time told me that as soon as they left the building the ties would come off. Can you believe that? Even waaaaaay back then they weren't following the methods:wink2:

The B side of a 45 was obsolete then and it is obsolete now. The B side was usually a throw away song ( in rare instances, the B side became a hit after the fact )

I can remember crowding 2 or 3 classes into a classroom to watch either a mercury or gemini launch.

Anybody remember a TV show called "You asked for it" ?

This topic is really making me feel old!!:sad-very:
I used to love that show! They did a segment at A G Spalding showing how a baseball was made. Spalding was the first ond only producer of Major League baseballs until 1975 when they gave up the contract. My uncle worked there and I had baseballs up the ying yang.
Ovah Bigbaboo BABAgounji Heff and everyone else from New England how about Rex Trailer on Sunday mornings
My antenna couldn't pick up Boston stations. I could get that scrambled pay TV signal from Channel 27 in Worcester though.
