We had a fat, white version of him in Eugene, Oregon, when I was a kid.  Don't laugh, but I used to walk down to his intersection and watch him.  More entertaining than Lawrence Welk!

How about this?
As a young boy 8 or 9 taking accordion lessens in Hawthorne, CA
I got to play with L.W. and Myron Floren he could make his accordion talk!
Sheesh just realized that's 60 years ago.

I remember when my father brought our first TV home. It was B&W, I think there was two channels maybe three and we where the first on the block to have one.  ;)

It took my Dad 20 minutes to get the test pattern just right. We only had one channel in 1953. It only had any thing playing for 2 hours....From 5:00- 7:00 PM and every show was done in a snow storm!  ;D
