For awhile there I was afraid nobody would remember those "way back" days.
I apologize for the "junk" comment, but I guess, when you are seven, you do expect The Hope Diamond...especially when you've waited so long for that wonderful thing to arrive! I will admit, too, that the glow-in-the-dark items were a little classier than the ring which sported that "tin can-ish" material so "one size fit all". My husband, on his lunch break at home from Mechanic Street School in Lakeport, was fortunate to discover his Whistling Ring had arrived...after waiting for the better part of forever. You are right--when he went back that afternoon he was--indeed--the Man of the Hour (for about two minutes), until the ring accidently dropped down the register! He said he threw a spectacular fit ,and all possibilities for learning ceased until the custodian somehow retrieved the ring. Yes, those were the days!
