Loved you guys’ comments re: dungarees & etc.!Ok, kids, here is what I wore in Ohio in the 1940s when I was Nelson’s age: Last kid in the school to wear knickers. Corduroy knickers. My Dad (el cheapo) said “They’ll wear like iron” and bought them two sizes too big so I wore them in shame “forever”. My little brother escaped them as he wasn’t old enough. Our shoes were “clodhoppers” – high-top kids replica of the black leather work shoe. Some kids wore cleats on them for a click as they sauntered the halls at school. Dungarees. When the knees wore holes Mom would sew and later iron-on dark blue patches on the faded dungarees. Tennis shoes were always hi-top black & white. My bathing suit was wool! Shrunk some when we swam with inner tubes in the “crick”. Small town country boys.

Earl even annoys himself and that’s saying something.

My dad used to “snap” his big toe with his second toe, kind of like snapping your fingers. Now that was annoying.
