Growing up

During the sixties there were three names that brought joy to Children, they were Tonka, Hasbro and Milton Bradley. There were others, but these three were he kings. Back then you had games and toys that let you use your imagination as opposed to today's electronic gizmos.

Chutes and Ladders

OK Green Ghost actually sucked, Of the four people I have met who had this game besides myself, all of them did the same I did, played with the parts and to hell with the game. (One friend actually hunted down the Green Ghost spinner in adult life and mounted it on his Enduro Race car).

Yes...I played Mystery Date, it wasn't by choice though, in my neighborhood there were four people born the same year as me...all girls... so...Mystery Date. But I can't complain...because there was only one doctor on the street.

At our age you had to have an imagination and patience,especially patience, we did after all have rotary phones. How many times did your finger slip out of the hole on the last digit, it was usually when the last four of the phone number was something like 0989.
