No particular reason for this post, these are some of my favorites that make me smile!

Oh man! Those are some incredible good memories! Love the Texaco trucks! We had milk delivery by one of those Divco milk wagons but I'm not sure it was Borden's. I chased the ice cream truck UNTIL, coincidentally, 1952. I had to stop then, when I was 5, since I contracted polio in 1952 and didn't walk again until 2 years later. Then at that time I waited for him to ring those bells and come to my corner! GREAT memories!

@perrone1 I’m glad you recovered from your bout with polio Tony, I know quite a few who were affected. Thank God the disease was pretty well eradicated.

@perrone1 I agree with Kevins thoughts Tony. We, here on the forum are better for you and your true insight into not only our hobby, but people as well. A boss I had many years ago had Polio as a child and as a result had a withered leg that left him with a limp.....not once did I ever hear him complain or cause him to use it as an excuse not to do his job. Like you, he was a force to be reckoned with. Bless you my friend.

Thank you Bob! I suspect that the old saying is true, and especially here with all our members. "If we all formed a circle and threw in all of our personal problems and troubles to trade; we'd likely take back our own!"@perrone1 I agree with Kevins thoughts Tony.
