Every kid at one time or another wants a pet. My very first pet was a little green turtle who I named Max. The pet stores sold “Turtle Kits, and the turtle was free, if you bought the kit to keep it in. The kit consisted of a plastic “turtle condo”, complete with a little island in the center, and a geen plastic tree. Turtle food was extra. I remember the excitement I felt in having something of my own to take care of. Every day when I came home from school, I’d throw down my books and have a visit with Max. Max lived for about a year or so, and after Max died, I moved on to something bigger– Hamsters. I had many. They bred. I had many more. Now, my children and I have a managerie of our own. To date, our managerie consists of; 2 Guinea pigs, a cockatiel, a goldfish, 2 snails, and a hedgehog named Spike. Thanks Max!

How about Charlie the Ice Cream independent who traveled around the Sheepshead Bay High School area. He was realy dapper with his white uniform handlebar mustache and he even gave you a chance to win free ice cream with his bubblegum dispenser. But only if you got the yellow multicolored gum.

One of the great things about the old players was that they were generally decent guys. They also lived in the neighborhood. With the type of pay you made back then, most of them also had to keep a winter job. I remembr that one of the guys from the Dodgers was a used car salesman,can’t recall which one.
