I'm sure you all remember the first satellite in space Sputnik (at
least the one I remember the name of -so it must have been the first
one).
Who remembers the card game Sputnik which I think one of us invented,
although it might have been Bruce Tschantz, class of 56.
I remember the name, but don't recall how it is played or what the
rules are. If anyone knows, please explain the rules.
Desperately seeking Sputnik...

Re: Favorite songs of the 50's
I had many favorites in the 50s, mostly ballad types, here were some of my favorites, might have spilled into the early 60s too.? Burl Ives, Jimmy Rogers, Vaughn Monroe, Billy Vaughn, Tennessee Ernie, Eddy Arnold, Frankie Lane, Marty Robbins, Patti Page, Joni James, Brenda Lee, Connie Francis, Fats Domino, Platters, Kingston Trio, Brothers Four and I'm sure others.

We're blessed to have been there in 1959 to hear live the last of the
50's music. What's your favorite song from the fabulous 50's? There
will never be another era like that.
What was your favorite song?
Who was your favorite singer?
Who was your favorite group?
Remember the old 45 rpm vinyls with the big hole in the middle and the
lousy sound (which was state of the art then before 33 lp albums)? I
thought I had the deluxe record player back then. I think it was a
Voice of Music (VM) two tone record player with a hinged lid. Wow!
Even though I got an occasional shock from the stupid thing, it was as
they say "groovy" (no pun intended since, remember records had grooves
in them). It must have gone to the great record player in the sky
graveyard. Can't recollect what happened to it. Lost in space I guess.
I still listen to the oldies on Sirius satellite radio (Channel 05)and
can
recollect (more or less) where I was when they play the songs of
the 50's with no commercials.
I think I still have my old 45's but I haven't listened to them in a
long time because I don't have a record player that plays 45 rpm
records.
I still have a JVC turntable that plays 33 vinyls. The good news is
that I bought a USB turntable to convert vinyls to CD's or some Ipod
MP3 (whatever that is--grandchildren understand completely). The bad
news is that I bought it about six months ago and is still in the box
waiting for me to comprehend how to get the vinyls converted on the
computer to CD's. Talk about a generation gap.
Personally, I don't really trust anything I can't see spinning around.
I made the big step to 8 track tapes, then cassette tapes (which I
still use to tape recordings from the Sirius satellite radio), and
CD's. Now that CD's are almost obsolete, I guess I'm almost
obsolete
too. That MP3 thing is a mystery to me.
Like to hear from you if you can remember back that far.

Re: Favorite songs of the 50's
Ah
yes....the good songs of the 50's.
?
A
friend of mine in the Charlotte area is a music collector.??He also
collects old radio shows (Amos and Andy, The shadow, The Lone Ranger, theme
songs, advertisements, etc.)
?
This
guy has a radio show every Sunday afternoon from 2-6 pm where he plays music
from the 40's, 50's and 60's.? He calls it "the good stuff."? He also
knows all the history of the music he plays.? The show is on Gaston College
Radio, WSGE (FM).? It also airs on the internet.??I am not sure
of the URL but can get it if anyone is interested.
?
I got
a little off track here, but the bottom line is that if the reunion committee
(or anyone else for that matter) is interested in getting any of the 50's music
for the reunion, it is ours for the asking, free of charge.? I have the top
576 songs from 1959, courtesy of my friend.? Anyone care to guess the
number one song in 1959?.

PS.? The number one song of 1959....Mack the Knife by Bobby

Re: First car you drove (probably known as your best car ever)
My
first car was a 1947 Plymouth, 2 door sedan.? I paid $175.00 for it.?
I remember the engine went bad and with the help of some friends, I put an
engine from a Junked 1953 Plymouth in the car.? Everything fit fine, except
the gear shift linkage wasn't the same so we had to "jury rig" it.? The
linkage would slip off from time to time, usually at an inopportune time (like
on a date) and I would get a little greasy getting the linkage hooked up
again.? Then too, one of the doors didn't open correctly and I don't know
what I had to do to overcome that one!
?
So
after about a year, I sold the Plymouth and upgraded to a 1947 Oldsmobile with
an automatic transmission!? Wow, now I was in business!? The thing I
remember most about the Olds was that it had coil springs in the back, and the
shock absorbers were completely shot.? So whenever I would hit the
slightest bump, the rear end would start to bounce up and down and it seemed to
take for ever for the bouncing to stop.? Oh yes, and the purchase price of
car number two.....also $175.00.
?
Now I
can't say that either of these two cars were my most favorites, but I think they
were my most memorable!

What was the first car you drove (other than your parents' old
DeSoto)?
Mine was a 48 Plymouth Coupe' pea green color. A real Bondo
special
inherited from my brother. I think he just wanted to dump it so he
could get his dream car, a 1954 (I think) Plymouth Belvedere
convertible with a continental tire kit, robin egg blue color, which he
still has by the way; it's always garaged and only goes outside on
clear sunny days with a -300% chance of rain.
Anyways, I think
that's where I got it. It lasted several years until
I dumped it on some
unfortunate soul. Hope it wasn't one of your
relatives. Then I got a 52
Ford Victoria from a Dalton local (it was
probably his first dream car,
too.)
The Plymouth was probably my favorite car (I guess because it was
my
first car).
What was your first car and what are your memories
of it? Good or bad.

Re: The other side of the street as I remember
-- Pat: I think the cobbler was Adrian Spires. I thought his cobbler shop was across the street on your side of the street. I'm probably wrong but I like the name Adrian Spires. The best part of Wright's 5 and 10 was the Black Jack, Teaberry and Clove gum. I think somebody still makes those brands and they cost $1.00 or more per pack. I also remember Vandersal's Jewelry store. When I lived in Cleveland in 1963/64, I didn't trust big city stores, so I went back to Dalton to buy an engagement ring/wedding ring combo deal from Vandersal for my future wife Rose. She still has the rings even though she lost the diamond twice when it dislodged itself from the ring. Somehow I managed to find the diamond. Old Vandy must have been helping me out somehow. It pays to shop local. Thanks for the great recall you have. Mr. Douglas the Weaselmeister - In dalton59@..., "Patricia Lee" <pjlee123@...> wrote:

I am going to start to the left of my house (you remember I lived in the old hotel) first there was the town hall and the bandstand where the band would play each Saturday night when the farmers would come to town to do their banking and their shopping. Then was the barber shop which had several owners over the years ...then came Slusser's grocery store where the small loaves of wonder bread came from for yes 10 cents. Then there was a great little passage way thru to camille Schultz back yard. Camille lived
upstairs in the building and her parents had the lamplighter restaurant downstairs with a player piano in the back room that was just grand. It later became Bud Powley's TV and appliance store. Then there was vandersal jewelry store in this tiny little store front and perhaps next to that was a meat market at one time, I am still trying to think of the name ??? Oh yes it was Stahls. PS above the meat market was a cobbler and I loved going there and smelling the leather ...I wish I could think of his name, he was a very old man, help me out here someone, was it Mr Arnold? And then it was Bergs (Geneva ... dry good store where they sold fabrics and notions. I think next was goudy furniture and then bergs grocery store where the Norman Bergs lived above it. And then perhaps was Brown's lunch were many of our memories were made hanging out after school. Then was the post office and I always enjoyed looking at the wanted list and scaring myself thinking those people were most probably in the neighborhood. Then I think was a residence and then the wonderful Wright's 5 & 10 where they had huge chunks of
chocolate that was sold by the pound and sen sen's and blue waltz perfume. The next building was perhaps the very poor Massey family living upstairs and another barber shop. Dan Hostettler did your dad have a barber shop there? Then there was an open space or a parking lot and then started some residences and then was the school supply place which was run by pet palmer. Oh I could tell you some stories about pet palmer! I remember buying pencils and ink bottles and erasers, protractors and etc in that little place which always had a funky smell. Perhaps the newspaper was printed in the back room? Then on up the street was the home of Ceila Denbrook who was an upper classman. Soon we are arriving at good old Dalton Grade School which was full of lots of memories too and that is another subject for later

Subject: RE: [dalton59] Historical/hysterical Dalton places like
Brownie's and Levi's
I played the trumpet in the band and kept it for many years and then
eventually sold it. Before high school I was in the Kidron School and John F. Lehman and Myron Nussbaum and I played in a trumpet trio and went to contest one year. After high school I never really played it again even though I had a major in Music Education.
I spent many hours in Brown's Lunch including pool playing in the back and card games in the very back room. How about the many hours we would stand out front late in the evening and hang out and tell jokes. Talk about a small world. My dad has a manufactured home in North Fort Myers, FL where they went for 20 plus winters. They helped Carl & Marcella Brown find a home in the the same park. My dad can't drive that far anymore so we ended up buying it from him and we now "snowbird" from Texas to Florida. Go figure that one out. Anyway, Carl and Marcella are still snowbirding there each year. It had been almost 50 years since I had seen them but we see each other every few days when we are there. His dad ran the Brown's Lunch and when he died, Carl and Marcella took over although Carl had a day job over in Orrville so Marcella did a lot of it. I believe Weasel participated in a few of those games. We frequently went to his house out on the hill to play pool in his basement
I can remember when I was younger going to the corner drugstore to read the magazines and get a coke. The Greyhound bus stopped right out in front.
I spent many hours working across the alley at Bach's service
station. That was a great experience.
Who can forget the Dairy Queen!
Then there was G.G. Grimm's car dealership right there in the center of town across from my grandparent's Furniture Store. I had them paint my '50 ford a turquoise color.
Have a GREAT DAY!

Subject: [dalton59] Historical/hysterical Dalton places like Brownie's and Levi's
Remember Brownie's Lunch that had great cherry cokes, greasy burgers & fries? What a place to go after school to eat junk food, play pool, play euchre, or just simply go there and do nothing. What a youth
experience.
Or how about Levi Berg's where you could buy an ice cream cone (double dip Sealtest raspberry swirl) for a nickel (or maybe it was a dime)?
I never went to the back room as a kid because that was where all the bad stuff was going on (probably card games or tip boards, maybe even near beer was being consumed).
Do any of you have any memorable experiences at these places or any
other long gone places in Dalton?
My most memorable experience at Brownie's was when I was just a tad
of a kid (somewhere between probably 7 to 27 years old), I hate to
admit, but I stole a 10 cent bag of potato chips. Feeling guilty,
the next day I went back to Brownie's, threw a dime on the counter
and slinked away for atonement. "Lord, please forgive me" I said to
myself as I left. Lesson learned. I have not stolen anything since.
I guess my parents raised me well.
Let me know of your memories of theses places or others. I'm sure
everyone has a tale to tell.
I'll try to think of some other places in the area to jog your memory.

Re: The other side of the street as I remember

role play for the genders?? I also remember thinking that it was neat for
the Dalton kids to be friendly and inclusive of us Kidron farm kids.? Maybe
"you all" were the seeds for becoming ecumenical and global in my perspective in
life.? I credit my cousin Jon
Amstutz who played cello but was good
friends of Bruce Schantz and the basketball player, Dannie Thomas, for believing
gender gaps don't have to exist.? He let me help build bridges in the ditch
out beside his house along the road.? He also told me that Miss Santchi
called him down in the hall for whistling "a happy tune".? "Gentleman don't

that one out.? Anyway, Carl and Marcella are still snowbirding
there each year.? It had been almost 50 years since I had seen
them?but we see each other every?few days when we are
there.? His dad ran the Brown's Lunch and when he died, Carl and

Remember Brownie's Lunch that had great cherry cokes, greasy burgers
& fries? What a place to go after school to eat junk food, play
pool,
play euchre, or just simply go there and do nothing. What a
youth
experience.
Or how about Levi Berg's where you could
buy an ice cream cone (double
dip Sealtest raspberry swirl) for a
nickel (or maybe it was a dime)?
I never went to the back room as
a kid because that was where all the
bad stuff was going on
(probably card games or tip boards, maybe even
near beer was being
consumed).
Do any of you have any memorable experiences at these
places or any
other long gone places in Dalton?
My most
memorable experience at Brownie's was when I was just a tad
of a kid
(somewhere between probably 7 to 27 years old), I hate to
admit, but
I stole a 10 cent bag of potato chips. Feeling guilty,
the next day
I went back to Brownie's, threw a dime on the counter
and slinked
away for atonement. "Lord, please forgive me" I said to
myself as I
left. Lesson learned. I have not stolen anything since.
I guess
my parents raised me well.
Let me know of your memories of theses
places or others. I'm sure
everyone has a tale to tell.
I'll
try to think of some other places in the area to jog your
memory.

First car you drove (probably known as your best car ever)
What was the first car you drove (other than your parents' old DeSoto)?
Mine was a 48 Plymouth Coupe' pea green color. A real Bondo special
inherited from my brother. I think he just wanted to dump it so he
could get his dream car, a 1954 (I think) Plymouth Belvedere
convertible with a continental tire kit, robin egg blue color, which he
still has by the way; it's always garaged and only goes outside on
clear sunny days with a -300% chance of rain.
Anyways, I think that's where I got it. It lasted several years until
I dumped it on some unfortunate soul. Hope it wasn't one of your
relatives. Then I got a 52 Ford Victoria from a Dalton local (it was
probably his first dream car, too.)
The Plymouth was probably my favorite car (I guess because it was my
first car).
What was your first car and what are your memories of it? Good or bad.

I'm sure you all remember the first satellite in space Sputnik (at
least the one I remember the name of -so it must have been the first
one).
Who remembers the card game Sputnik which I think one of us invented,
although it might have been Bruce Tschantz, class of 56.
I remember the name, but don't recall how it is played or what the
rules are. If anyone knows, please explain the rules.
Desperately seeking Sputnik...

Favorite songs of the 50's
We're blessed to have been there in 1959 to hear live the last of the
50's music. What's your favorite song from the fabulous 50's? There
will never be another era like that.
What was your favorite song?
Who was your favorite singer?
Who was your favorite group?
Remember the old 45 rpm vinyls with the big hole in the middle and the
lousy sound (which was state of the art then before 33 lp albums)? I
thought I had the deluxe record player back then. I think it was a
Voice of Music (VM) two tone record player with a hinged lid. Wow!
Even though I got an occasional shock from the stupid thing, it was as
they say "groovy" (no pun intended since, remember records had grooves
in them). It must have gone to the great record player in the sky
graveyard. Can't recollect what happened to it. Lost in space I guess.
I still listen to the oldies on Sirius satellite radio (Channel 05)and
can recollect (more or less) where I was when they play the songs of
the 50's with no commercials.
I think I still have my old 45's but I haven't listened to them in a
long time because I don't have a record player that plays 45 rpm
records.
I still have a JVC turntable that plays 33 vinyls. The good news is
that I bought a USB turntable to convert vinyls to CD's or some Ipod
MP3 (whatever that is--grandchildren understand completely). The bad
news is that I bought it about six months ago and is still in the box
waiting for me to comprehend how to get the vinyls converted on the
computer to CD's. Talk about a generation gap.
Personally, I don't really trust anything I can't see spinning around.
I made the big step to 8 track tapes, then cassette tapes (which I
still use to tape recordings from the Sirius satellite radio), and
CD's. Now that CD's are almost obsolete, I guess I'm almost obsolete
too. That MP3 thing is a mystery to me.
Like to hear from you if you can remember back that far.

You got to be kidding.? I can't remember what I did last week.? When I saw Keiths email about the play, I immediately went into the "I love Lanny room"?and dug up my Dalton stuff, and by golly, there was a newspaper ( Dalton Gazette) article with the info in it.?

PS above the meat market was a cobbler and I loved going there and smelling the leather ...I wish I could think of his name, he was a very old man, help me out here someone,? was it Mr Arnold?? And then it was Bergs (Geneva ...?dry good store where they sold fabrics and notions.? I think next was goudy furniture and then bergs grocery store where the Norman Bergs lived above it.? And then perhaps was Brown's lunch were many of our memories were made hanging out after school.? Then was the post office and I always enjoyed looking at the wanted list and scaring myself thinking those people were most probably in the neighborhood.? Then I think was a residence and then the wonderful Wright's 5 & 10 where they had huge chunks of chocolate that was sold by the pound and sen sen's and blue waltz perfume.? The next building was perhaps the very poor Massey family living upstairs and another barber shop.? Dan Hostettler?did your dad have a?barber shop there?? Then there was an open space or a parking lot and then started?some residences and then was the school supply place which was run by pet palmer.? Oh?I could tell you some stories about pet palmer!?? I remember buying pencils and ink bottles and erasers, protractors and etc in that little place which always had a funky smell.? Perhaps the newspaper was printed in the back room?? ?Then on up the street was the home of Ceila Denbrook who was an upper classman.? Soon we are arriving at good old Dalton Grade School which was full of lots of memories too and that is another subject for later.
Tell me what you remember............. |

Subject: RE: [dalton59] Historical/hysterical Dalton places like Brownie's and Levi's
?
I played the trumpet in the band and kept it for many years and then eventually sold it.? Before high school I was in the Kidron School and John F. Lehman and Myron Nussbaum and I played in a trumpet trio and went to contest one year.? After high school I never really played it again even though I had a major in Music Education.
?
I spent many hours in Brown's Lunch including pool playing in the back and card games in the very back room.? How about the many hours we would stand out front late in the evening and hang out and tell jokes.? Talk about a small world.? My dad has a manufactured home in North Fort Myers, FL where they went for 20 plus winters.? They helped Carl & Marcella Brown find a home in the the same park.? My dad can't drive that far anymore so we ended up buying it from him and we now "snowbird" from Texas to Florida.? Go figure that one out.? Anyway, Carl and Marcella are still snowbirding there each year.? It had been almost 50 years since I had seen them?but we see each other every?few days when we are there.? His dad ran the Brown's Lunch and when he died, Carl and Marcella took over although Carl had a day job over in Orrville so Marcella did a lot of it.? I believe Weasel participated in a few of those games.? We frequently went to his house out on the hill to play pool in his basement
?
I can remember when I was younger going to the corner drugstore to read the magazines and get a coke.? The Greyhound bus stopped right out in front.
?
I spent many hours working across the alley at Bach's service station.? That was a great experience.?
?
Who can forget the Dairy Queen!
?
Then there was G.G. Grimm's car dealership right there in the center of town across from my grandparent's Furniture Store.? I had them paint my '50 ford a turquoise color.?
?
Have a GREAT DAY!

Remember Brownie's Lunch that had great cherry cokes, greasy burgers
& fries? What a place to go after school to eat junk food, play pool,
play euchre, or just simply go there and do nothing. What a youth
experience.
Or how about Levi Berg's where you could buy an ice cream cone (double
dip Sealtest raspberry swirl) for a nickel (or maybe it was a dime)?
I never went to the back room as a kid because that was where all the
bad stuff was going on (probably card games or tip boards, maybe even
near beer was being consumed).
Do any of you have any memorable experiences at these places or any
other long gone places in Dalton?
My most memorable experience at Brownie's was when I was just a tad
of a kid (somewhere between probably 7 to 27 years old), I hate to
admit, but I stole a 10 cent bag of potato chips. Feeling guilty,
the next day I went back to Brownie's, threw a dime on the counter
and slinked away for atonement. "Lord, please forgive me" I said to
myself as I left. Lesson learned. I have not stolen anything since.
I guess my parents raised me well.
Let me know of your memories of theses places or others. I'm sure
everyone has a tale to tell.
I'll try to think of some other places in the area to jog your memory.

Mr. Jogan invited Nancy Withrich and I to go along with your cast to Columbus.??? I remember you all did a GREAT job!!!???? While we were in Columbus, some of us went to the movie theater and saw "Some Like It Hot" with Marilyn Monroe.??? To this day, when I hear about that movie, I associate it with our trip to Columbus.
?
I am glad that?another person remembers the cherry cokes that Brownies served.??? Bonnie Weisgarber and I (seated at the counter) liked to order those and then we?ordered some long pretzel sticks and dipped them in the cherry cokes, they would make a "fizzle" sound, and then we would eat them.???? We would?do this as much as our "pocketbooks" (there's a dated word) allowed.
?
?Do any of you remember "Pet" Palmer???? She worked at The Gazette office.??? "Pet" wore rubber boots, hat, and coat most of the year.?? I avoided eye contact with her because I was scared of her.
?
Slusser's Grocery Store, Eckard Brothers Service Station, MacDowell's Hardware, The Book Restaurant, Bach Brothers Service Station, Hokey's Barbershop, C. V. (Jimmy) Amstutz's Appliance Store, Haverstock & Davis, Berg's drygoods store (what is a drygoods store?), etc, etc.????

You have a great memory. I think I remembered all the cast except

think my role was "Doc".
As an aside, I think we stayed at the Hotel Chittenden in Columbus.
I think I still have a souvenir towel with that name on it. I think

Hey John, I didn't realize that you had dreams of playing in a rock band!!!!
My clarinet went to my brother, Mike, and he played the years he
was in
school and my saxophone was one that the school owned so no great stories
there.
I remember Scott's Drug Store where we would order marshmallow cokes and
then when they mixed them wrong, they made a mess all over the counter.
I also remember the store on the corner of Main and Mill (don't'
remember
the name) where they would give us these tiny loaves of bread that were
always so fresh.
I don't remember going in Levi's that must have been off limits for us
girls.
I also remember Vic having me direct the high school band when I was in
elementary school and they played "Ten Little Indians".
Chuck and I played some clarinet duets.
Didn't we change our colors from pink and black to green and silver before
we graduated?

I sent an e-mail at 12:48pm CDT and it shows on the message that it was sent at 5:48 pm (some future time in the twilight zone).
Does anyone else have the same problem? Or am I the only one living in the twilight zone? Chances are I am the only one.

Dalton history freaks wanted
Who can tell me why the Dalton town founders selected the site they did
for the village? Why was it built on a hill? I can't recall any other
towns in the area built on a hill. I remember other towns around there
being built on flat land. What's the scoop? Did the founding fathers
and/or mothers have one leg shorter than the other? Keeps me up nights
wondering....
Any reasonable guess is acceptable.
