Ah - mid-summer 1975. I had to attend a summer football camp in hot, humid rural South Carolina and was absolutely miserable being away from home. I remember how happy I was when dad picked me up. On the way back home, I remember hearing the “Theme from The Rockford Files” and “Jive Talkin’” on Dad’s blue beetle car radio. However - I was even happier when I got home and got to my bedroom. There on my bed sitting on the pillow was a gift from dear Dad - a brand new copy of “The Origins of Marvel Comics” by Stan Lee. I was elated. I still have that copy that Dad signed to me. Bless you Dad - you are missed. And btw … love those Carl Barks duck books!

It's with great fondness that I remember the C.W. McCall song "Convoy"! Great tune that I still like! In fact, I remember my older brother installing a CB radio in his car. I don't think he used it much; it was more of a novelty than anything else. But it was fun anyway! Thanks for the memories!😄
