While reading this message, I thought about Amos and Andy.
I'm old enough to remember hearing them on the Radio when I was a child.

Also remember listening to The Green Hornet, Buz Sawyer and a show about
some Pilots who flew airplanes in a squadron called "The Flying Tigers".

When our home got a Television Set I remember watching:

Captain Video, Kukla Fran and Ollie, Howdy Doody, Milton Berle(sp?),
and a Lady Singer who I can't recall her name.

Remembering those old shows brings grins to my face.

I like trying to get Grins from salespeople while I'm shopping in a store.

I will say things like:

"Thank You for helping me, it proves I'm not so far gone to be helped."

Because everyone has to wear masks in public the only way to tell if
I made the person grin is to look at their eyes and eyebrows to see if
I put a smile on their face.
