I am big into genealogy. I think where we came from is important and I think our legacy is important. I have 6 kids and "how I'm remembered" is important so far as answering the question "was I a good father and husband?"
I wasn't a pilot but I was aircrew and the flight suit does invoke certain responses.

Just this morning, my brother and I were trying to remember the name of a department store that mom used to take us to. We'd head downstair to the toy section while mom stayed on the top floor to look at clothes. I can clearly remember the packs of green plastic army men, matchbox cars, and boxes of LEGOs. It was Kuhn's. I remember them changing the name to K Mart.....

In my small town we had Kresge's, and yeah before every place had a mall, it was an in house department store and only thing I wanted to know is "where is the toy department." Of course when I was in Lionel Playworld, unless it was the week before Christmas, it was "hurry up and get what you need so we can go."

This Generation will never know the joy of a Sears Christmas Catalog.

Heck yeah, that was a joyous day in my house when it arrived. My sisters and I would spend hours going through it, circling the items we wanted for Christmas.

Yep! But never experienced the reputed "Sears catalog in the outhouse". Can't imagine those slick pages being very efficient.....

After Santa jacked up some items that I wanted, I started putting the page and specific SKU number from the Sears catalog, though the JC Penny catalog had more color pictures.

LOL. You'd have to be living pretty remote to still be wiping with a slick page Sears catalog. That catalog goes back to 1906.
But the catalog I remember is those goddam green stamp catalogs where on a given Sunday night my family violated child labor laws and had me assemble MONTHS of stamps in 2-3 paper grocery sacks and fill a ton of books so that THEY could order something.
