Transistor Radio!

How I loved my little red transistor radio! But the batteries in those little suckers went dead so fast. I remember holding it up to an electric outlet to get better reception. LOL

You must have have had one of the small suckers with the 9v battery. Mine had a whole bunch of D cells.

Here's part of an email that my older brother just sent me that fits right in!:

------

[My daughter] did lots of online research before replacing her broken IPOD and chose to get a ZEN- not a Zune. She thought there were some really neat features about it. They are all the same price. $250. Interesting that I've bought 4 Ipods/Zens, etc and 4 digital cameras but STILL don't have either of them for ME!!!

[Your son] saving up reminds me of when I was a kid and small hand held transister radios were brand new. I couldn't wait to buy one and saved my money. Got a black and white RCA for about $15-20 when I was 12 and in 6th grade. Dad and I went to buy it.

Would take it to school and listen to the World Series at recess and fall asleep listening to KDWB (63-- THAT'S easy to remember!- was their slogan) or WDGY with Johnny Canton. When at the cabin [Northern Minnesota] we got WLS from Chicago real clear. All the stores and their addresses being advertised in Chicago made you feel like you knew the town!

-------

Me? I remember when Kennedy got shot (I had just turned three!!) and was at my godmother's house watching T.V. on their three-season porch. I liked it over there 'cuz she would give me half a twinkee and we never had stuff like that.

Being gone all day riding bikes, fishing, floating on the creek, etc.
