Remember when................................?

He was old as dirt (or appeared to be to a 13 year old) in the 80's, so it's possible. He had the rep as a verry hands on with discipline VP. I personally saw him slam one kid into a locker.

There were two of them. Sherryl and Cheatham. Neither one of them much fun. I hated Hefner JH.

Calling "collect."

Telephone 'Party Lines' which required asking others to please hang-up so you could make a call.

Yep, we called it Hefner Juvenile Reform School because it was so bad.

Almost got an ass whoopin for those, neighbor called dad and said they spotted me and my buddy smoking, couldn't figure out what he was talking about and then it snapped on me about the candy.

I made my first new firearm purchase at that Huge TG&Y on SW 74'th and Penn,,,
I know I was fourteen and it was one of those fake lugers in .22 LR.

I went to the counter, laid the 30-someodd dollars on the counter,,,
And told the man behind the counter what I wanted to buy.

He asked me if my parents knew what I was doing,,,
I said, "Yes, this is my birthday money."

He just took my cash and handed me the box,,,
But then a manager came out and asked for my home phone number.

He called and spoke to my Mom who said it was okay,,,
They knew about it and it was okay with them.

He wouldn't sell me any ammo for it though,,,
Even though it was perfectly legal,,,
He said that next time he would.

Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about this in this day and age,,,
I know I really wasn't responsible enough back then,,,
I for sure wouldn't support that now.

It was a different time and people were different.

My grandkids take a rifle or pistol to the back pond, all the time, alone.
Partly, because they have been taught and mainly, it's a 1/2 mile to the pond, a cougar has been seen at the pond, twice and hogs.

I remember '68 very well. MANY times the summer of '67, I rode my bicycle to OTASCO and bought .22 shells. Then, it was no longer legal. Papa would have me to the store. He wouldn't go in, but parked where he could be seen from the register. It was so stupid, in my mind.

Mine can be trusted, others I'm sure about.
