Hi Gary,
I enjoyed Neola’s posting of the newspaper of Jan. 1954. In particular it had an ad for the line up of new Fords. That reminded me that the first car I owned was a 1954 Ford that I bought in 1966 and it had a flat head V8 engine just like the ad mentioned. I kept that car for less than a year and then sold it to my cousin Marvin Olson. What I remember most about it was not how it looked, how it handled or how much power it had (or didn’t have), but rather that it burned about as much oil as it did gas. Good memory, Neola, thanks for the post.

Correction to the Hagen Brothers picture posted yesterday
Folks,
I was really absent minded when I labeled this picture yesterday. Not sure what I was thinking, but I knew better. That is Donnie Nelson, not Oliver Nelson in this picture. Donnie and Oliver are brothers. When their mother died Donnie was very young, so Orvin raised him. For all practical purposes, they are father and son.
Tommy and I say Tommy, because that is how your were always referred to by Orvin, I hope you had a wonderful Birthday.
Gary

Frozen Crabs & the Blond Stewardess…
For those you that feel I pick on blondes.
A lawyer boarded an airplane in Halifax with a box of frozen crabs and asked a blond stewardess to take care of them for him.
She took the box and promised to put it in the crew’s refrigerator. He advised her that he was holding her personally responsible for them staying frozen, mentioning in a very haughty manner that he was a lawyer, and proceeded to rant at her about what would happen if she let them thaw out.
Needless to say, she was annoyed by his behavior. Shortly before landing in Toronto, she used the intercom to announce to the entire cabin, “Would the lawyer who gave me the crabs in Halifax, please raise your hand?”
Not one hand went up …. so she took them home and ate them.
Two lessons here:
1. Lawyers aren’t as smart as they think they are.
2. Blonds aren’t as dumb as most folk think.
