... but, my GOD, what an avalanche of memories! (I'll be 80 next year!)
I got to see the last game the Brooklyn Dodgers played in Ebbets Field.
And I even saved enough Ovaltine labels – or was it paper seals? – to get a Captain Midnight Secret Decoder Ring! I didn't like Ovaltine, but they were the sponsor of the show, so I choked down enough to get the ring, then never touched to stuff again. I much preferred Nestlé's Quick.
BIG fun! Thanks!
I live in Vermont, so I just might make a trip down to Weston to get a boxload of Black Jack. Thanks for the tip!

Thread drift. We have teaberries in the Pine Barrens in winter.
