    I spoke with a costume shop owner, it was around for my first 20 years, she ended up closing the doors because she could not find employees to hire that knew how to sew.

    I am an old school type of person, I still have flip phone. But without this wonder of technology, the computer, this club wouldn't exist and we never would have met each other. And then who we would share pics with?:yes:

    Here's something we all had as kids growing up with Daniel Boone and Davy Crocket (gotta love Fess Parker). Every little store sold them and they came in different colors, you never see them today. Rabbits foots! Any kid worth his salt had one, and a coonskin cap with a six shooter cap gun. America was great then.:tears:
