I remember cartoons with two monkeys named Bosco and Cookie. As I recall, there was a lot of background music by Duke Ellington or a band that sounded like him. When I hear Duke Ellington today, I think of Bosco and Cookie!

I also remember Crusader Rabbit cartoons with Rags the Tiger and Dudley Nightshade.

I remember Ding Dong School with Miss Frances. There was a series of books for tots published in association with that show. I remember one that I had that featured coal going down the chute into the boy's basement.

I remember the Chicago Cardinals, the Los Angeles Chargers, the New York Titans, the Dallas Texans, the Houston Colt .45s, the Cincinnati Redlegs, the Cincinnati Royals, the Syracuse Nationals, the Philadelphia Warriors, the St. Louis Hawks, the Chicago Packers and the Baltimore Bullets.

I think I remember the first color tv show I saw - the 1957 Army-Navy game, which featured star sophomore running back Joe Bellino.

I remember Black Jack and Beeman's chewing gum.

I remember Ovaltine.

I remember Armor Star franks because they featured something for kids on the cardboard the franks were packaged with. One in particular was a pirate's treasure chest map.

I remember getting our first stereo record player in 1965.

I remember when every nun wore a black habit that went down to the floor.

I remember when stewardesses all wore for and aft caps at an angle.

I remember when the Surgeon General issued his first warning against smoking cigarettes.

I remember the 1954 hurricane in Boston that blew a tree down next to our house. (They don't get many hurricanes in Boston.)

Speaking of Spin & Marty, I remember The Hardy Boys doing The Tower Treasure on the Mickey Mouse Club.
