US Pencil Case

The title pretty much says it all. The gear action moving the names of the states and the capitals was kind of cool.

In The Year 2000...

A book showing what it would be like in the 21st century, when all the cities would have moving sidewalks and we'd be scooting around using jet-packs.

The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

This was about the coolest toy pistol of them all back in the 60s. Man, I wish I still had my U.N.C.L.E. badge.

Larry Miller #44


As the 2006 season opens for what looks like another outstanding Tarheel team, here's a picture of my first favorite Carolina player-the great Larry Miller. Also pictured, UNC All American Bob Lewis. Miller is guarded by future Laker player and great coach, Pat Riley of Kentucky.

Bubblegum Trading Cards









Bought a lot of these fine cards at Mr. White's store when it was at the corner of the next block from our house. Probably spent some of the silver dollars Charles Barham would give for a perfect quarter of Sunday School attendance on them.
