It just occurred to me that even though the schools I went to in northern Indiana were within 20 miles as the crow flies from a SAC base, we never practiced the nuclear attack drills.

Perhaps it was because we would have been toast no matter which side of the desk we were on.

I remember watching Red Buttons, George Gobel, Flip Wilson.
I even camped overnight with the Smothers Brothers at an old flooded quarry. They had an old "woodie" wagon that Tommy put his washtub bass on the roof.
When they did their act, Tommy strummed his "bass" and would comment how he had the longest G string in the Midwest.

I took a date to the taping of a Flip Wilson show back in the day. Ruth Buzzi was on the show that night. She was out in the audience doing a bit and she came over and hit me with her purse. Never did see the show when it aired to see if that bit was shown.

Nope, hardly felt it. The purse was very lite and soft, like getting hit with a feather.

Yep, I realized it latter that night. Just that Fred Harvey had a significant presence in this area and that name just kinda popped right up. Thanks for the update on my error.

Fred Harvey died in 1901 then his sons took over the company and it ceased operations in 1968.

Jimmy Durante, what a large nose he had and memorial voice.

Since I'm a youngster, only 65 YO, compared to most of the rest of most of the posters, I only remembered $0.05 Cokes out of the machine plus deposit if you took them off premises in the early 60s and the gas war where it sold for under a quarter before the 1973 energy crisis.

However, my Mom had reminded many people over the last few years of her life as I took her to the clinic that she helped administer one of the dose of a miracle drug at the first hospitals when she was first out of nursing school in 1942: penicillin. Also that you didn't want to drop a unit of blood because the glass jar breaking made it hard to clean up the mess, she never had to because she learned from what others had done,
