LIFE BEGINS AT THE CANDY COUNTER

One of my favorite topics to talk and think about is the times gone by. When I think of my childhood days, my mind goes back to the 1950s and early ’60s.

The memorabilia from my childhood has suddenly become collectibles or (antiques?). Actually, items from the 1970s are also becoming things of the past. Time does not wait and marches on to the beat of another drum.
