When you were thirteen, what was your prized possession?

A pocket, transistor radio.

This is probably hard for younger generations to wrap their minds around but before transistor radios the thought of being able to listen to music, news or a sports broadcast without plugging a wire into a wall was too fantastic to comprehend. Back then the very thought of being able to actually see someone while on the phone was practically science fiction. I am amazed by how far technology has altered the way we live in the last 50 years!

Did you have a secret crush on a member of the opposite sex at thirteen?

[Bighuey]

I dont really remember. There were some cute girls in our school but I dont think I really had a crush on any of them. I did have sort of a girl friend, she was the big game hunter Jack OConner's daughter who lived near us. But I think I considered her more as one of the guys. I remember I had a crush on Judy Garland when I was about that age after seeing her in Wizard Of Oz.

No, we used to collect old newspapers on our home made go-carts and take them for pulp, we used to get good money for that.
The irony is that if you don't recycle correctly now you could end up being charged extra if you wanted something picking up.
