What a great picture. I don't think I have ever seen that one before.

Sticks were great toys back then. Put a string on them and you were fishing. Put them to your shoulders and you had guns. Throw them and they were spears.

Whatever happened to imagination? A windmill became a great ship for us. A TV antenna was a team of horses. We had a lot of fun with very little stuff, but loads of imagination.
