    I think that often more than we realise! But you were there and you did it that’s what counts!

    And I believe that the anticipation was SO high. It seemed to me that the graphics were always better than the product!

    Actually I think it was before the Beetles, maybe 1957/58, but yes remember it well!

    Clothes & shoes of yesteryear

    Absolutely! Looking back I realize how inadequate those helmets were by comparison to what we have today. I do business with a company in India that a large part of their business is helmets that they sell globally with lots of regulations!

    I always wore an Aviakit Trackstar (sp) silver of course starting in 1959. Didn’t know that T E Lawrence trivia.

    Tried one of those once, could never get it to work right, always kept moving to one side. “Operator error” so I ditched it!

    My neighbor has it in his back garden, although his dog doesn’t seem too care!

    BANNISTER, Mary and Martha

    Certainly moved around a lot! I wonder looking at Janice’s posting if there wasn’t some confusion between Bermuda and Barbados?

    We will cut until the end of October or early November then have a final clean up mid November. The good news is that we have an irrigation system, the bad news is that we have an irrigation system :)!

    I was a stripe and nautical person. Broke into a pink/purple color once, didn’t last long, I donated it.

    I have three brushes, black, brown and tan for summer shoes. Always have a tin of saddle soap just incase I have to do any clean up work (which I usually do).
