Yep, Saltheart, good old Miss Bonnie. If your Mom turned on Channel 4 instead of Channel 10, you cried because you got Miss Jean instead of Miss Bonnie. I remember Salty warning us not to try the things the 3 Stooges did, even before "parental advisories" on TV shows were even dreamed up. Remember how every Christmas, he'd travel to the North Pole by some exotic way? And the sidekick he had for awhile, Ollie?
Family style chicken and shells dinners at Knight's Farm. Saturday afternoon matinees at the Strand and the Leroy. How Blackstone Blvd and the East Side was as exotic as a foreign country. Duckpin bowling. Haven Brothers' truck--the thought of a fried egg and cheese sandwich at 4 AM!! I could do this all afternoon, thanks for the memories.
