"I want to wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart" sings Jose Feliciano.. the blind showman.
Frosty the Snowman is a much different concept in the framework of the Christmas Holiday.
The snow has been light since its inception. Calm and 27 degrees, beware of the Global Warming hoax: THE MONTREAL EXPRESS! After all it IS winter. Sliding will be a favorite for kiddies and younger parents. Sister Jan and I received spiffy FLEXIBLE FLYERS from Santa in 1952 purchased from R.T. Quigley Hardware in North Brookfield, my home town.
"Quigs" was a wonderful social meeting place every Saturday night. Thelma (Tooty,) Bob and Gramps were my friends.Today Mrs. Quigley nears age 100 at the Quaboag Nursing Home! Her mind is as sharp as a carpet tack.
Quigly Hardware was a precursor in local television sales in the 50s. Dad treated the Potvin Family with a Used Philco Set costing some $50.00. Little did we know and realize how television would transform our eyes and minds from radio and newspapers to now, the PRESENT MOMENT.
In researching "The Evolution of Television timeline" I am dazzled by the evoked memories of The BOOB TUBE! Baldy Hart had the 1st TV in North Brookfiels c. 1948! Names like RCA, Motorola, Raytheon, Marconi, Baird and many, many, more tried and many, many , many failed.Dumon
