I'm 62. Likely a little older than you. We didn't have a TV until I was maybe 7 or 8. It was from Sears. But it was rarely on. I can remember sitting on the floor in front of the radio. Very cool. When the Lone Ranger hit the screen, it was marvelous!!

But then, the first song I learned was Home on the Range....and still love my Westerns.

Have now converted my grandchildren to westerns and old movies....and yes...they listen to Bacharach and LOOOOOVe Chicago!!

We didn't get our TV until I was 6, so a lot later than you did, as I'm 6 years behind you. It was a big old Philco box on a black metal 4-legged stand.

The only show I really vividly recall listening to on the radio regularly was the Don McNeill Breakfast club in the mornings with my mom. Listened to lots of baseball on summer nights, though - St. Louis Cardinals.

The very first TV show I remember on that old Philco was "Winky Dink," where you needed a little plastic film thing to put over the screen to draw on with crayolas to help Winky get out of predicaments.

My mom got tired of me drawing on the TV screen and finally bought me the plastic Winky thing, lol.

>At age 13, she and a friend left for school one day, and we did not see them again for 6 months

Excuse me? Did I just read that correctly? Your 13 year old daughter ran away for 6 months to see the birth of a white buffalo? Did you try to find her? Did you know where she was? Please, the backstory on this one.
