As the years go by the memories tend to fade that is why I set up this blog post. This will hopefully allow me and others to explore the memories of my early years that are being eaten up day by day.
(1) NECK SURGERY- This is probably my earliest memory as some type of cyst was removed from my neck in my infant years. The details remain a blur but were confirmed by my parents.
(2) FIRST FIGHT- I must have been in 1st or 2nd grade when a bully told me to get up from a seat and I refused. This lead to an alteration in which I earned the respect from the bully and my 1st bloody lip.
(3) SPECIAL ED- My development physically and mentally was put in the “special category” and those memories of being quarantined from the “regular children” has stayed with even as they are more then 40 years old.
(4) ON T.V.- I was on T.V. literally as my Grandmother’s Boyfriend would put on top of the T.V Box (before flat screen’s were available)
(5) APPLE JUICE, CARROTS, BASKIN ROBBINS, – As a child of two other siblings I had my distinct flavors that my mom made sure were in my stomach on a regular basis.
(6) BAND-AID W OINTMENT- This was my 1st idea I tried to bring to market but my family this was not an investment for my young portfolio. Band-Aid came out with this product only a few years later.
(7) WELCOME BACK KOTTER- It wasn’t my greatest role but as a 6 year old so it was one I continue to remember “Hello, How Are You, My Name Is ….” My next play was the incorupable Howard Cossel.
MORE TO COME ….IF I REMEMBER
