Remember when...

[shootingstar]

I remember when each new Michael Jackson song was debuted with great anticipation and fanfare on radio station KYA.

And his songs came on those little vinyl records. The high school sock hops.

I remember the big song hit, 'American Pie' and 'American Woman'.

Being taught in primary school to sing, "Born Free".

The TV regular shows, "Flipper" (the dolphin), "Lassie (border collie dog), Batman, The Avengers, Mission Impossible, Mod Squad.

When our co-ed public school allowed us to wear jeans --1976. They decided it made sense, the temperatures were dropping below -25 C degrees.

Hey crazycanuck, the 25 cent phone booths still exist. One just has to look around harder.
I remember Rick Hansen, the Canadian paraplegic guy who went around the world in a wheelchair. One of his last stops when returning to Canada, was in Toronto at the hospital for spinal cord injured hospitals where I worked. All hospital staff and patients were in the gym when he rolled in. The newspaper press were not there. There was alot of cheering and tears. For the patients who were recently paralyzed for life, it was something that they needed...so much.

I remember the days of conducting business, fax only. No email, Internet. Mid 1980's
