It is a scientifically-proven fact that all the most awesome people came of age in the seventies. So let's look back at those halcyon days.
This is what was know as a
record or
LP. It records a concert given by my high school choir and orchestra. I do not appear in the photo, because the trumpets sat way in the back.
The band had pins made. Someday this will be a valuable antique!
In 1973 my friends gave me this going-away-to-collage gift: a toy gumball machine. It really worked, but I only chewed up a couple of the gumballs. Those you see here are original--forty years old!
