Thanx Karen,
In fact I actually have near photographic memory. It very much helped as I moved,along in life with all the education and schooling. I went back to University in 1998. ...I was the old dude that hadmtoalmost show an ID to prove my age. Too funny. ......Now with 4 children in home from 5,6,and seven years plus two teenage boys out or most out of the nest, it is a trial to walk across my kitchen floor to the fridge before,forgetting I am looking for coffe cream. ....Kids huh. ...So many tasks and errands around that atmosphere in our day. I need to mark arrows on the tips of my shoes to put my shoes on the right feet. ....You know. .......I remember the PX Was up at the end of Camp after passing by the Sports Palace. ...It was a treat to visit the PX and the grocery store. ....I got my fishing lures there. Crocodiles they were called. Red and white things. Always caught fish. ...Boxes of cracker jacks were great. There were train sets( one car) in each box. I had a long train. Loco's or caboose were hard to get. ...Remember the 'black ball' hard candy about the size of small marbles. One penny got you five or so. Black loco rice cigars. The boys always spent their allowance on pkgs of candy cigarettes. All white with a red sprinkle candy tip. ...The Sports Palace had a sort of fast food and drinks and notions counter in it at front. I believe there was a set of mail slots in it at the front door for the servicemen to mail and also receive mail. I remember buying my first fountain pen in there. there was a lever on the side of it to * * * in the ink from a ink well. Old technology for sure.
The newer ball point * * * could be gotten with three colours of ink. One would push down a small tip button to change from red to blue to black. ....It was all so magical to us boys so young. ...Remember a Spin and Marty from Walt Disney on Sunday nights. Annette and other Mouseketeers. ...If I only still had the comic books I had then. So many first editions. Oh well. Hind site. Felix the cat clocks. Tick roc. ..Jave I mentioned the mums wore 'veils' on their hats when dressing up. My mum always wore those hats and dresses and bracelets and Patti Page hairdo"s. ..How much is that doggie in the window.

It would be nice Bump if you posted your name beside Bump so people will know who you are. Thanks
