Aloha Ruth!

->  HN> I read a lot, but not newspapers.

->
We had it in the house, but I seldom 
was interested in "daily news" unless
it was mandated for school "current events".
I did however usually have my face buried in
a book.

Yep, we'd get a group of us and meet
at someone's apartment and we'd all
sit around the radio and "chart" 
the hits. We all had composition 
books that we kept track in and
could look up what was "hot" from
month to month. 
 
->  HN> We did not have Television available

->  HN> get to see JFK's funeral via Telstar on
->  HN> a French neighbor's TV. We could have
->  HN> gotten a french television and watched
->  HN> the local station but we never did.
-> 
-> We got a multisystem set in Germany--watching German broadcasts of the
-> Olympics was so much nicer than the American. No cut aways for
-> backstories or infinite numbers of commercials, just sports. Steve took
-> that tv to Korea and it died while we were in HI.
->
Yes, but when were you IN Germany?
I was in France between 1960 and 
1965...a whole lot less "amenities"
in those days!
 
-> -> Coming up soon! Plans for a big night out on the town? Steve has a 
7:30

Besides,

day.

-> 
-> Sounds like a sensible idea. Getting the goodies all lined up

->
Nope (grin) not spending much time looking
ahead currently...keeping up with the
day to day is keeping me hopping pretty
much!

Anne talked to the radiologist and he
says "no problems" have chocolate if
you like, just don't over do it!
(and we don't) 
chat with you soon!
