While looking through a bunch of old storage boxes (most of them
mislabled), I found my old lunchbox from grade school. I opened the
lunchbox and inside the lunchbox was an old Prince Edward cigar box.

Inside the cigar box was something I had forgotten about. To my
surprise, I found a stack of namecards from fellow classmates.

Wow, what a find! Everybody had a bunch of comments on the back of
their namecards. Most of them started out as:

Weasel: To a swell guy who....etc.

Just curious. How many of you still have a bunch of these old
namecards from your fellow classmates? I think it might be groovy to
bring these cards along to the reunion and let others see what
thoughts your classmates had. I don't have a clue what I said on my
namecards which I gave to others. They probably all started out as:

To a swell classmate who....etc.

Nothing too original back then.

Good going group! We got four correct answers out of four guesses on
the first poll. Of course it was an easy one to identify. It was
Dragnet.

If I remember correctly, that was one of the Weaselmeister's
favorites. I remember him emulating Sgt. Friday from time to time.

This next theme is a just a little harder than the first one. Let's
see how we do on this one. Just click on the "Files" button on the
left panel and open the file. It should play using your default music
player (probably Windows Media Player.)

If you didn't listen to the first theme because you didn't know how,
just drop me a note and I'll try to help you out.

Keith and Chuck:

Keith, Chuck, Cash, Weasel and let me guess who else went with us:

Rod Hostetler
John Hare

Who drove? I don't think I drove my 48 Plymouth(aka Pimpus) coupe.
I think we conned Cash into driving.

What a bunch!

Anybody else want to guess who went with us and who drove?

Chuck:

And God Created Woman starring Brigitte Bardot. A classic.

I saw that film in Massillon too.

My main Stark County memories are of Brady's Pink Cottage and one

of the movie theaters. We frequently went to Brady's for hamburgers
after football games. One time we went after losing to Waynedale and
there were some of the Waynedale players there. My cousin went to
Waynedale and says that we were known there as "the-hated-Dalton".

We went to one of the movie theaters in Massillon to see the first

Briget Bardot film, hoping to see something really racy. Now it
seems rather tame. You can see much racier things on YouTube.

Linda:

I guess I was wrong that nobody dared cross the Stark County line.

You sure know more about Stark County even though Rose and I lived in
Canton from 1965-1968 when I worked for Timken. Both of our sons were
born at Aultman Hospital.

How could I forget Heggy's chocolates? I still haven't found any
better chocolate than Heggy's. For your info, Shisler's Cheese House
at US 30 and Kidron Road sells Heggy's chocolates. We bought some
there when we were in Ohio in April. Yummy!

Sugar Bowl in Massillon must be too obvious of a name. Guess that's
why I forgot the name.

Bali Hai. Why are there no polynesian restaurants anymore? I also
remember the Kahiki in Columbus and Kon Tiki (I think) in Cleveland
in the Terminal Tower building.

Do you think that Pelosi Pizza in Massillon is any kin to Madam
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi?

Speaking of Canton, does anyone remember the Canton zoo that had the
toothless lion? We took our kids there, thinking that they were
pretty safe in case the toothless lion got loose.

Thanks for the memories.

Hi John, Pat & All:

Guess I will chime in here as I haven't talked for a while. I

never heard of the tabu to cross the Wayne County line into Stark
County as I did it all the time. I rarely went to Wooster except for
the dentist (ugh-which I hated to do). Before we leave Wooster
though and Freedlanders. Just an interesting note relating to my
life a bit, Stanley Gault, who Chuck M. mentioned was the last owner
of Freedlanders and made the decision to close it is somebody who I
have met and was in my family by marriage! After my Mom and Dad were
divorced my Dad, Ralph Fahrney, remarried a daughter of C.Randall
Kurtz (who had a Heating & Air Conditioning Co. in Canal Fulton).
Daddy ended up working for Randall as a sheetmetal worker. His
younger daughter's name was Mary Kurtz and, of couse, was my step-
Mom, and she had a beautiful older sister name Flo. Flo married
Stanley Gault. They were often at family gatherings and you couldn't
find two nicer people than Stan and Flo. In fact, I

have a step-sister named Flo, who was named after her Aunt Flo.

This was the time when Stan was big in G.E. and went all the way to
the top. They even named a highway for him in Louisville, KY-where
they lived.

Now on to Massillon, guess cause it was closer and we went there

all the time to shop for groceries, just about everything. It sure
has changed these days. John, thanks for all the memories - you
still have a good memory for sure.

"Sugar" Bowl -is what you are trying to think of. One of my

first horrible office jobs was one on Tremont St. and I would go to
the Sugarbowl to have lunch. They had the best chili and hot fudge
cashew sundaes.

Brady's was awesome food - ate there a lot

Town & Country Buffet --- I believe before Town & Country Buffet

it was formerly Linway Restaurant (or Linway Restaurant was right
next to it). My Mom was the main Order cook at Linway for several
years. She just told me this morning that she really had wanted to
be a waitress there, but got stuck being the cook and was good at
it. She quit at one point after working there for quite a while, got
hired at Brady's to be a waitress and the owner came over to her
house and said she just had to come back to Linway and offered to pay
her double. She did go back. She also was a short order cook at
Gray's Drug store in Massillon at their lunch counter for a while.

Now I have a question regarding Town & Country -previously it was

a pretty nice Night Club and well known stars in the 50's came there -
does anybody remember the name of it? Was it Tropicana? They had a
marquee that listed the stars and think I remember seeing Eddie
Fisher's name on it and Sally Rand (the burlesque Fan Dancer)

How about the beautiful Polynesian restaurant along road into

Canton ---Bali Hi. I loved that restaurant and went there during my
early working years - probably early 1960's.

Pat, I also remember the Darling Shop and how about Lindy's - I

bought a coat with a racoon collar there that I thought was the most
beautiful coat - I felt like a movie star when I wore it!

How about Heagy's Candies in Canton - think they are still

operating.

There was another small Bar-b-que place in Canton before you got

to the busy part of downtown on the left on a little side street
called "Spicers Bar-b-que" They had hams that were put on spits and
were bar-b-qued that way - they put a homemade relish on their
sandwiches that was to die for. I often try to think about re-
creating that recipe and opening my own restaurant where it would be
served on all kinds of sandwiches. Anybody ever heard of Spicers or
remember it? It was near where I started going to church at about
age 14-15 (Canton Christian Tabernacle) and sort of near somewhat of
a park and the McKinley Monument, if I remember correctly.

Remember the Super Center in Massillon - one of the biggest

grocery and first discount stores around. My brother-in-law, Bobby
Harris, was the Produce Mgr. at Super Center for years. You know I
married a Massillon guy...Russ Harris, a graduate of Wahsington High
(Home of the Washington Tigers). He worked as Youth Dir. at
Massillon YMCA when I met him and then went on to work at the Canton
YMCA as Physical Dir. where Dr. Kenneth Cooper met him and hired him
to be on the ground floor of starting the Aerobics Center in
Dallas. We lived in Massillon in the early years of our marriage
till we moved to Dallas in 1971. - So that's why I have a lot of
memories and my life had to do more with Massillon and Canton too.

Speaking of grocery stores, I can remember now maybe 8 or 9 going

to the A&P grocery store in Massillon and they had a new "amazing
wonder" - at their store - a seeing-eye door that opened on its own
accord when you stepped into its pathway. That was something to me
back then - now? - we have come a long way baby!

and YES I was born at Massillon City Hospital - have a lot of

memories there - good and bad. Four of my children were born there,
the first daughter and first son who were stillborn, and then two of
my 3 living children (Natalie & Steve) were born there as well.
Valerie was born in Baylor Hospital in Dallas. I rarely think of her
as a native Texan though.

How about the W.T. Grant store just down over the viaduct - I

remember it well as Elsie Slabach got one of her first jobs there.
Also out of high school, I got a job at Griscom-Russell Co. - anybody
remember that name? I worked in the Personnel Dept. (now called HR
depts) for W.J. Keen, who was also a Mayor of Massillon. I loved
working there!

McDonalds, yes I remember 15 cent hamburgers and also PDQ

Hamburgers pretty close to them in Canton also. They had 15 cent
hamburgers too!

Pizza - I liked Your Pizza Shop, but frequented another one

called Pelosi's that I thought was just as good or better and maybe a
bit cheaper.

How about Roberta's on a side street in Massillon (can't remember

name of street) - they would put melted butter on their hot french
fries - good and lots of calories. My sister, Cheryl worked there
for a while.

I've got to close. I'm going back home to Dalton on Aug. 28th

and be there through

Sept. 10th - anybody else going to be there at that time - that

we could get together??? It seems all the ones that chat on this
group are out of towners and the local ones aren't involved. I plan
on going to the Wayne County Fair, which I think is even better than
the Texas State Fair. I might be a bit prejudiced! You think?

Hope everybody is having a great Summer!

Stark County landmarks:

Weslin Movie Theater (Massillon)

Lincoln Movie Theater (Massillon)

Palace Movie Theater (Canton)

Brady's Pink Cottage (Massillon)

Eckerd's Drive In (close to Canton) where carhops wore roller skates

Lum's Hot Dogs (east of Massillon)

J C Penney's (Massillon). I remember going there to get "husky"

size

blue jeans because I was tubby.

Sugar (something) restaurant (Massillon) for some sickeningly sweet
treats

Krempels bakery (west of Massillon) for the best cream sticks pastry

Town & Country buffet (between Massillon & Canton) for all the food
you could gorge yourself with.

Stark Drive in Theater (east of Massillon) where we would sneak

extra

people into the drive in. Some of the worst Class D movies ever

were

standard fare. Remember how bad the car speakers were? Not many
drive in theaters anymore.

McDonald's (east of Massillon) where you could get 7 burgers for
$1.00 and french fries were 15 cents.

And, of course, Meyers Lake close to Canton which we have talked
about before.

Isaly's Ice Cream store (Massillon) where they served those monster
skyscraper ice cream cones. I think John Sprunger was the store
manager. Grape ice cream--what a treat.

Your Pizza Shop (Massillon) which had the best banana
pepper/pepperoni/mushroom pizza east of Wayne County.

Massillon State Hospital (Massillon) where my Aunt Blabby lived.

Bill's Diner (Massillon) which was an authentic railroad dining car.
(not sure if Bill's Diner was the name).

Massillon City Hospital (Massillon) where I was born. Anyone else

in

our class born in that hospital?

Some department store (across the street from J C Penneys)in
Massillon. Was it O'Neil's? Can't recollect.

Yes, there was life east of Wayne County. But you dare not cross

the

mythical Stark County line. Probably still true today.

Just for fun, I uploaded a file to the "Files" area of our site. This
file is a theme song from a TV program that was popular during our time
in High School. Click on "Files" in the left hand panel and
then "Open" the file. This should play a tune.

To go with this file, I also created a "Poll" that will help you guess
what TV program this theme song is from. The first one is easy. We
should get 100% on this one. This "easy one" is to see if you have any
problems playing the file and taking the "test".

Let me know if you have any problems with this. Once I am sure
everyone can play the file and take the poll "test", I will have more
of these and they will not be this easy!
