    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I was told that, my Grandfather and a couple of my Great-uncles were in the back of a Ford Model TT when some one said, where's Ollie? Apparently, he had bounced out of the truck right on his head, the next morning he didn't even remember a thing and was perfectly OK!

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Flying Fleet (1929) Ramon Navarro, Anita Page. Great Golden age uniforms! Still wearing capes, riding breeches, and high boots, plus great leather jackets!

    Past lives, do you believe?

    That is a lot of it for me! You remember Dialing For Dollars, all they plaid were films from the 30s through 50s! Also, do you remember on Saturday mornings, they played The Keystone Cop shorts, dubbed with wacky music? I had no idea I was watching silent films until I was a teenager.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Before my time, but, talking to older guys I have known, in the 40s through the 50s, if you were in uniform and put your thumb out, you would be picked up immediately! Plus, people would go, some times, way out of their way to get the serviceman close to his destination. That went away after...
