9. Anyone could have seen I was a caretaker in training. |
|
I had a whole ward set up in the garage for sick dolls. Of course, Dr. Kevorkian wasn't big yet. :)

I had the rocket toy he was using to jump the grand canyon (if I recall correctly).

6. Sorry, you recall wrong. |
|
The Evel Knievel toy wound up with a crank.
You're thinking of those "SSP" toy cars.

7. My sister and I each had a Mrs Beasley |
|
She talked.
One thing I remember her saying was "Would you like to try on my glasses? You may if you wish"
Unfortunately the first thing that I lost was her glasses.

8. Doug and I were collectors. We loved snooping around |
|
finding old toys. I was into Fisher-Price pull toys, in particular. But I did once find a great FP toy cash register in Kansas City with all the original plastic coins. For $20. :woohoo:

10. Speaking of Fisher-Price... |
|
My Mom bought for my little sisters in 1970, the "Little People" house, barn and airport.
My Mom still has all three, for the GREAT-grandchildren to play with nowadays!
