I had the green $51.95 model. I didn't wear those goofy shoes though. Chucks and PF Flyers for those special occasions. Mom would open the kitchen door and shoo us out in the morning and we didn't come back until the supper bell rang in the evening. If you ever see The Sandlot. That was pretty much my life in the '60s. We had our neighborhood gang of friends that did everything together. Baseball, lazy hot summer afternoons floating across the sound on backyard-built rafts, fishing, flipping for baseball cards, Hotwheels, going to the rich kid's house on Saturday to watch color TV, BB gun wars... I could go on.
Can't go back but I damn sure would love to...
