Hey Gary—- Talking about burnt toast, the 40 years I have been one the corner at 3rd and main in Rugby, our local cafe was about a half of a block from my station and back then every morning  I and other business fellows would gather for breakfast and we would order our whatever we wanted and with my breakfast I would always order toast with peanut butter and the waiters would say light or dark, and my saying was burn it cause it’s no sense eating warm bread. It didn’t take long when they would bring the food the waitress would say this one belongs to Dave. then we would shake dice for the breakfast and 70 percent of the time ——I got lucky—–musta been the burnt toast. Gary hadda throw that in.   Luv ya all—Dave

Hi Gary,
I hope and pray things are improving for your family.
Remember the fourth grade, when Mrs, Conroy got us all organized.  We got to elect class officers for the first time.  With this came the reponsibility of finding ways to earn and accumulate money for our class.  We were getting big so fast.  But the biggest advantage was that we got to go to the basketball games at the old city hall, free. We got to sell soda pop, and candy bars from the little room across the top stair landing from the little room, where they sold admitance tickets for the basketball games. Mrs, Conroy would ask for volunteers, usually two girls and two boys. The girls usually sold candy and pop through the open window, and during the breaks in the games, us boys would carry pop and candy around the hall and sell it, to the people that stayed in their seats.  I always considered it a fun time, and it was the only time I got to go watch the basketball games at that age.  Selling pop and candy at the basketball games must have been exclusive to the fourth grade.  Because, in the following years, we sold Fanny Farmer Candy to make money.  There were three kinds weren’t there? White, brown, and a mixture?  I believe, we did this all, so we could pay for the prom, we had to put on for the class of The 65er’s.  You guys were so lucky!
The theme of the prom was “Moons Over My Hammie” or is that a Grand Slam Breakfast at Denny’s Restaurant?  I forget.
