I knew Danny very well, we were best friends. Knew Max Weldon and his cousins the Andres brothers etc. Danny was in my living room drinking beer with me 3 weeks before he died. We went to 7-11 and on our way back to my house he made the statement that he would probably be one of those guys that came back in a plastic bag. His in-laws had me Verify to the rest of the family that it was really him, not very pleasant. But that is all history now. We MUST know each other?

Got to:....I was the first to see him at the funeral Home and it tore me inside out. They were waiting for someone (with the family) to verify and they thought it was me. When they realized I wasn't he one they escorted us out of the sanctuary very rapidly....He lived across the street from me all of his life...I'll figure out who you are...and we'll remember him and the others we both must have know that died in Viet Nam....

If you do, what was the original name of that establishment?.... also, do you remember the name of the Lumber yard that was where Fox Lumber (25th/May) is right Now?....Where was the Jelly factory on the South side of town????

What's happened to SoonerGirl26 I don't see any post from her since the 1st thread was closed.

You guys are reaching way back. You're hitting around my old stomping grounds but just a little before my time. I do remember having to go to the ice plant (29th & Kentucky) to get ice. And I know that now you can see guys pushing two wheel carts through the neighborhoods selling tamales and what not. But guys did that when I was alot younger also. Use to have great tamales. I remember milkmen leaving bottles on milk and cartons of eggs on doors step.

Surely SoonGirl has seen the new thread. I hope.

The only tamale guys I remember back in the '50s were all downtown. Mom wouldn't let eat them, but she sure made us eat the crap that came in cans. Mom, you were NUTS.

guess on the lumber yard Cullen
jelly factory was Zesta memory serves me correct west side between
25th and 29th

from an earlier post on south accross 25th street was orginallyorginally was
a Fina station (home of the chicken man attenna toppers) then was a (think) Tastetee freeze ( remeber they had 2 flaovors of dip cones
choclate & butterscotch ) Then a large factory type building, Earlly on seems like it was furniture factory (remeber wood shavings piled up )
then it was a candy factory. Bunte comes to mind, (bleasher creature section at all sports stadium) but Im not sure if that's right.

My Gosh, you did meet someone that I KNOW. Mr. Todd, the band director had gotten in the design samples for the new band uniform and mine was the one that came in. He told me to go and try it on and make sure everything was right. Very excited I ran up the stairs and into the bathroom...put the thing on and a bunch of girls walked in. You guessed it, wrong bathroom (for Me). Send me a PM and let me know who it was there weren't a whole lot of people there...

East side of WEstern on 27th, on south side of street. I use to unload trailers there!!

And just how red did you turn?

Mr. Bashful himself...did not know what to do and to top it off I ran outside with the pants unzipped and unbutton....insult to injury....and now 45 years later it gets brought up on a computer website.....Right?????

By the way guys, I have just renewed an old acquaintance through this thread:...Carltonskeeper and I went to school together...He was my neighbors( killed in Viet Nam) best friend. We had a great visit and of course he had to rub in the fact of his Camaro and the condition it was in and then along came the '67 Corvette....But, treat him as family, I've know him for a LONG TIME.
SEE YA NEXT TIME:......

Well Gen/64 what do you think of the "09" Camaro? You know it was slightly copied after a few of the older Camaro's but mostly the "69". I saw the one last year at the Texas State Fair which had been on the Hot Rod Power Tour!! These little hummers really trip my trigger. I think you should shell out some "mula" and purchase me one!! I want the 450 H.P. six speed of course. After it's broke in we could change the cam and injection system and posssibly some better heads and I'll keep it garaged, where it will be in good shape when you come by for a ride!! Sounds like a fair deal to me.....

If I win the Lottery tonight I'll buy us all three one....Mine is going to be Yellow with the black racing stripe...450 horse 6 speed...Wish I could find some 17" Spun aluminum racing mags....I remember that ...was it a 69 Camaro that you had???? I do remember the '67 Vette Roadster you had...i still can't believe you let that one go. Red was the color for that ....427 big block???? You used to have a '55 chevy when we were growing up whatever happened to that and the '62 Impala???? but, that Red 34 Roadster you had made me sick when you dumped it....Oh well, the New Camaro I want one bad...We're going out to the show tomorrow and look one more time....I hope that is the Salvation car for General Motors.....They have priced them all the way from 23,000 to 70 plus....sheesh....been a while since I've wanted a new car....

That's the Camaro I was telling Gen64 about. It's the one they've made to
compete with the new Mustang. Can't you get it with the L2 'Vette engine
with close to 600hp? The 'Stang runs about $70,000. The Camaro is close to
it.
