Trunk or Treat 2013 - Reunion Park. Kathy McIntyre with Yippee 'Kai' Yeah

Deb Palizzi with her two mule team cart. July, 2013.

My Dad and someone he knew back in 1965. A great ad for Schlitz, maybe.

Catnip + Catfood = $1 Million Idea. I came up with the idea but never blended Fancy Feast with catnip to see what would happen. Anyone try this? Is it as bad an idea as the "jump to conclusions" mat?

Genesee Theater, Waukegan, Illinois. It never looked like this in the 60s. But layers and layers of popcorn grease were no doubt removed in the restoration of this masterpiece. I saw Jaws, Papillon, Planet of the Apes, Sound of Music, Oliver, and a whole bunch other movies there.

My parents at Sturtevant or Wilmot "Mountain" in the midwest (I wasn't alive so I don't know much more about what else was going on).

My first beach party. Bill, me, and John in the deep end of the 2-foot pool that we couldn't have drown in if we tried.

Winter on Glenwood Avenue, Waukegan, c1964 - snowman with "Dobie"

My dad & me pushing off from our pier in St. Germain. The boat was wood and the lifejacket around my head might have saved my life but was more like a straight jacket when worn

Wallpaper? Upholstery? I think this was on both in our house and in many different places. Floral fabrics ruled in the 60s and early 70s, no doubt.

I was only 7 and my parents wouldn't let me go to Woodstock. But this is what I remember in my mind as I sometimes believe I made it there, anyway.

Twiggy. She played a huge role in women's fashion in the 60s - again, I was in early grade school years but I remember alot of focus on Twiggy. Pre-fininist movement (correct me if I'm wrong).

Ok, so I was only 4-years old. But Julie Newmar as Catwoman set a high bar for my kindergarten classmates. I actually met in person years later, Lee Meriwether (also in Barnaby Jones) in the Bahamas. I don't know if she played Catwoman before or after Julie Newmar. Anyone know?
