And, as a 7th-Grader to be, I most likely burned my hand popping Black Cats:eek:


Hope you enjoyed that trip down memory lane and Have a great 4th!

I remember 1976 well....going into 8th grade. The summer of '76 we did a church choir trip that featured patriotic songs.

In '76 I was 10 years old and living in Ft. Lee Virginia ( Army BAse)
Ft. Lee is a couple of hours from DC so that fourth was truly something excellent! Still have the litle scar on my right hand from the sparklers!
