I played golf with him once, my dad and I were paired up in a foursome with
him at Hook & Slice.

Was Hook & Slice on S. Western? I played there but I can't remember
where it was.

He was a customer at our family business. I can't say that he presented
himself in a positive manner.

Southwest corner of Wilshire & Broadway, there are still some remnants of it behind the warehouses. It was an old Duffy Martin course.

Another example of how political discussions carry over into these threads. Prunepicker didn't respond to my post above because of the discussions in those political threads. Otherwise, he would have responded and there's no question in my mind. Too bad it's that way.

Ah, yes. I remember it now. I golfed at Duffy's Brookside course in Moore
back in the 60's. It was a 9 hole course. It looks like it's still there but I
don't know who owns it.

The name was something like Duffy Martin's Brookside or Broadmoore golf
course. It was 9 holes and you played it twice. In the 60's it cost about
$3 for green fees and club rental.

I remember when my parents decided to buy a newer/bigger house on the S. side of OKC. It was in 1964, we lived near downtown in a small, 2 bedroom house (mom, dad and three kids), their house payment was 52 dollars a month, they (MOM) found what she called her dream house on the S. side, and their payment was going to be 78 dollars a month. Mom and Dad spent probably a month, trying to decide what they could do to afford this HIGH, mortage payment.

They bought the house, and, I still own this property. (Rental income)

That's cool and especially since you have kept it in the family. My mom and dad did basically the same thing. GI housing off of 47th and Independence. They were building those houses as fast as they could get the lumber and help. My parents house payment was 49.00 and you could feed a family of six (two adults and 4 kids) on $ 20.00 a week from the grocery store. Now, it got a little thin by Thursday and Friday...I won't eat Oatmeal or Cereal today. But man that was good times....

you could feed a family of six (two adults and 4 kids) on $ 20.00 a week from the grocery store. Most people could fill a grocery cart with good food for $20 in the '60s.

My Mom shopped at Humpty Dumpty in Airline Shopping Center or Jim's IGA at 44th/May. Big giant wasn't clean enough for her I guess. Mr. Fox always had some good buys....I worked at the 74/Penn TG&Y and my wife usually shopped there.....

Speaking of test patterns. Does anybody remember the test pattern of each
station?

Did KOCO have the Indian Chief? Wasn't WKY a regular looking pattern?
KWTV was ...?

Oh! Then there was the color test pattern. It seems they were all the
same.

Hey, check this out!

I worked at the Jims on 74th back in the 70`s

As a Kid I remember Humpty Dumpty being the King of the Supermarkets in this area. They were owned by Allied foods. There was some sort of economic problem and a lot of the Humpty Store Managers began their own businesses and soon the OKC market was a market full of private stores serviced by Fleming.....Cycles started all over again. There seemed to be a lot more service in the 50's and 60's at the privately owned stores. Jim's was one of them....Snyder's, Kimberlings, Crest Foods......Oh well///they'll be back... (just different names)

My brother-in-law worked up from bag boy at Humpty Dumpty in the early 60's then opened the one on 59th and Penn as manager. Now he owns Larry's in Mustang amongst lots of other business'. Did very well for himself.
When I was quite young we shopped at Jones Boy's next to TG&Y on 44th and Shields.

I know some of you guys remember this but, there was a corner downtown by the old John A. Brown (don't remember what street) where the wind would would whistle through pretty quick.....I was down there (as a young kid) and the wind was blowing the girls/ladies dresses up over their heads practically...I don't know how many hundreds of men were standing out there....But, I had never seen anything like that in my life...Not the men ....oh well, never mind...

Your probably thinking about crossing over thru the alley from one part of Brown's to the other part!!!!

Big wind in OKC?.... Go figure. I've lived all over the country and tell people how windy it is there.

Your probably thinking about crossing over thru the alley from one part of Brown's to the other part!!!!
There was some type of underground deal that blew air from the utilities or something which ran all the time and when you crossed over the alley where it was it would be making quite a sound and would always about blow you over....

By "The Mouse" do you mean the Wild Mouse? There's one at Frontier City.
Could that be the same one?

Speaking of Chicken in the Rough, we ate breakfast at Beverly's on N. Walker
quite often. Great pancakes!

How about the old Sussy's in Capitol Hill? Went by there today and memories just shot everywhere....two guys, two girls 4 Cokes...$ 5.00. Man, that was an expensive date.....

CHILDHOOD Memories:.......boy, do you remember the abuse your bicycle used to get??...How many (now really expensive) Baseball and/or Football trading cards were ruined just so Our Bicycle could sound good?....I remember taking pride tht I had a FULL and complete set of Baltimore Colts Football Cards....they are worth thousands now....But, my Bike sounded good for a Season.....Never did figure out how we rode the tread off of the tires...only rode about 100,000 miles (Dreamin') did ride it to Del City from Roosevelt Jr. High one time though and Back....Duh....so my friend could see a GIRL?????
Oh Well, those were the days....

I remember having what we called "Bike Hikes" at the S. Penn. Y.M.C.A.. One time we went out to Golf Acres (which was out in the boonies at that time) and on the way we went past Jefferson Jr. High which was brand new. The school's first year was that fall.

Our big thing was to ride in the sewers. We went all over the south side
through those things. A favorite port of entry was behind Across the Street
on S. Agnew.

My wife teaches at Jefferson now...not like it used to be or like it should be....
My sister was the Latin teacher (of all things) when Jefferson first opened. I have never heard of Latin being taught in the public schools before or after that. Must have been a failed experiment. If so, I think I know why. One day I had to go see her at work to get her signature on something. The office told me just to go down to her room and knock on the door. It was ajar, however, and I stood outside a couple of minutes and listened in on the class. I was thoroughly embarrassed for her. My very own sister playing out the part of the proverbial ol' bitty teacher. GAWD! Bitch and hollar, bitch and holler. And she was only 24. I hated to enter the room and let those kids know that I was kin to her. Anyway, I doubt she created any enthusiasm for Latin at the middle school level.

My sister had Latin at PC West (94 grad) but I don't remember it being at the middle school or jr. high level. It might have been in 9th grade when I was in jr. high but I wasn't interested in it.

I learned Pig-Latin one afternoon in 1956 at Arthur grade school from General64 but being dyslexiac made it really tricky.

It was in Jr. High when I was a kid at Jefferson.

I can't believe I said middle school. I usually have to force myself to use the term at all and this time it just slipped out. Hey, I may be entering the 21st century ......finally.

I know what you mean, I have to think of what I am saying in regards to that as most are still jr. highs to me. The PC system changed to the middle school system around the time when my sister moved from Mayfied Jr. High to PC West.

Oh man, the monster is loose.....Oh yeah, when we were kids were traveled the creeks a foot. You couldn't begin to get your bicycle down in those creeks. And or course, we were always watching for the proverbial Alligator that was left by some "Crazy" guy and a lot of kids swear they saw it. then we would always go Crawdad fishing (string and a bad piece of bacon).....Don't forget when the creek got to the running stage during the rainy season, we jumped in the creek and rode the current as far as we could....(it's a wonder we didn't drown) and if my mother had ever known I would still be "GROUNDED" after 55 years.....I remember one year we had a tremendous snow storm and we made sleds out of car hoods etc....wooden planks and then I got this "Brilliant" idea to tie ourselves in a ladderback Rocking chair and slide down the creek bank...worked great for about 6-8 inches and then my face took over....hurt like crap but I wasn't going to say a word.....Cried on the way home though....

Hey, don't the kids know how to use their minds anymore and think up things to play with that don't go "BANG"?....I remember playing with the REAL firecrackers...an M80 was bad don't you remember? was always told they were as powerful as 1/4 stick of dynamite.....Talk about a stupid idea...when we were kids we tried to light a string ladie fingers in the palms of our hands and see if they would really hurt. D@#$*!!!!...Right they hurt and then you turn around and the bigger kids who dared you were on the ground laughing their heads off....Did your parents ever spend $200.00 for fireworks back then??? I think you could buy a pretty nice car for that amount then....How about the people that turned their front rooms into small grocery stores and meat markets...???? they always had just exactly what you needed not anything else...even candy.....

Hey, don't the kids know how to use their minds anymore and think up things

You won't believe this. The last time our 12yr grandson was over I told him
there won't be any TV. Later he was in the backyard with an aluminum
mixing bowl on his head and a large stick. I don't know what he was being
but he and the dog were having a blast.

Did you know that the 'stick', yeah, a piece of wood, is in the Toy Hall of
Fame?



I remember playing with the REAL firecrackers... Did your parents ever
spend $200.00 for fireworks back then? I think you could buy a pretty nice

On one 4th of July Dad spent $75 dollars on fireworks. We always put on a
show in the backyard and the neighbors would come over, too.
