Oh wait a minute Johnny. You must be talking about the Snowman named "Sam". Is that his name ? I think that goes back to around 1964, right.

But Mr Gage, I sure wish they had that "goggle" thing when I went to school. Because just as I did here, if the answer is right, "I might have been an honor student and become a brain surgeon", instead of TRYING to drive a hook and ladder truck without hitting any parked cars.

I know you will understand when I talk about driving Ladder trucks.

For the BONUS Points.

One of my favorite TV shows back in the 1950s. I watched it all the time of WPIX Channel 11.

That show was Officer Joe Bolton and the Clubhouse Gang. Television from a different time.

Officer Joe would be twirling his night stick while this was playing. Born September 8, 1910 it was his 100th birthday when this video was produced.

Joey Heatherton (of Oceanside, NY). Daughter of WOR-TV Channel 9's Ray Heatherton . . . the Merry Mailman.

nfd2004 · Jan 17, 2020

Oh yes Ray, "The Merry Mailman". Another one of my favorites.

But let me give it an old farts guess at some of those Joe's that Mr Johnny Gage had mentioned earlier.

#2) Joe Bazooka
#3) Joe Friday
#5) GI Joe
#6) Joey Bishop

And getting back to the Merry Mailman, from 1970-1975, "The Merry Mailman" Song was my favorite theme song I sang it along my mail route carrying that heavy bag of magazines and letters.

Well friends, how about we go back to that Merry Mailman theme and we all join in singing it, just as I did about 45 or 50 years ago.
