How about todays parents turning round to there kids and telling them "get your damn hair grown!"

I know what you mean Bryan. My son Chris went off to Uni last September and came back with a beard and long hair. I thought it suited him but his girlfriend didn't (shame to have a SWMBO at such a tender age...  )

I remember the Ice Cream man, his name was Charlie. When your Mother wanted you she yelled out the window. Each Mother picked up the call and passed it down the block till it got to you. I remember playing stickball under streetlights. In NY we had 7 TV Stations and 50 radio Stations, but we had to listen to Buffalo, NY or Ft Wayne, Indiana on Sunday nights to hear Rock and Roll.
I remember 45's, 8 Tracks, and Reel to Reel. Concerts at the Filmore East, and long haired girls with long legs.
 I also remember flying a bunch of other scared kids into a hot LZ, and coming back later to haul them out either dead or alive, but never the same nonetheless. Maybe it's just the bad stuff that keeps coming back around.

I'm thinking you and I are about the same age.. er, I mean state of maturity. You might well have airlifted survivors to our compound.

Hi Bobby & Bob, Didnt get to fly there but was one of the English idiots who delivered the Bitumen and Propane by ship to Siagon in 75 Those rockets were too accurate for me when standing by two 500 ton propane tanks!

Hmm, I remember when I was a kid, sometime in the mid-60s, we were the first ones on the block to get a color TV.  All my friends from the block came over, but no one was watching for the TV show itself.  All you could hear that first time was, 'Ooo, look, BLUE! . . . Ooo, look, RED!. . . ' etc.  =o)

We had, circulating our neighborhoods, ice cream trucks, a pizza truck, a chinese food truck, ride trucks ('the Whip,' 'King Kong'), Ruby the Knish Man, a knife sharpening truck, and probably others I have forgotten.

My in-laws still have rotary phones.

Brian, The Merchantmen were a brave bunch. Sitting duck for a MIG. 500 tons of Propane would have made quite a boom. Some Mrechantmen would always bring "special goodies" and we would pick them up at night offshore. One hoped they knew exactly where they were out there , and that we were good enough to find them. These were logged as Night Recon.

Didnt get any of the night recon, I worked for Shell at the time and we did Singapore- saigon- singapore- hong kong (Bitumen to extend the runway for 747) start again. Me was Junior engine driver and worst bit was a total genny faiure (blackout) as we hit the Mekong Delta! Thats when you find out that adrenaline is runny and brown!!
