I bought a new bicycle and my family our first TV. It was black and white. The TV cabinet was about 3 feet tall and 4 feet wide and the screen was  6 inches by 6 inches. It cost $125.00. The bicycle cost me $15.00. I probably wore out a pair of shoes. We lived in Astoria New York on the 43rd floor of a building. The year was 1955. The same year the Brooklyn dodgers beat the New York Yankees inj the World Series. Every kid I knew had tickets. We were let out of school early if we went to the games. Tickets cost 50 cents for kids. I sat next to first base. First and only time I ever beat my Dad. He was an avid Yankees fan. When the Dodgers left Brooklyn I quit watching baseball.</p></blockquote><p></p>
