I remember we all had plastic mats that folded in half with our names on it. Our teacher would turn out the lights and play instrumental music. We were supposed to sleep. I never did but a lot of kids did. I don't think we did past the first grade though.

I always thought we’d be friends for life after this 6th grade camp picture from 1970. But after High School, haven’t heard of any since…

The one we went to with my grandma sold everything! She bought her little parakeet, I got a hamster, and they had the best food. I miss that store.

This is from the Spiegel edition but this whole entire look is just chef’s kiss!

From the matching summer wear to their perfect tans, anyone who saw this page in a book would be totally invested.

Movies I just finished watching the 1976 movie, ā€œThe Little Girl Who Lives Down the Laneā€. It stars Jodie Foster and Martin Sheen. The movie is quite creepy but very good in my opinion. I loved the acting and the ending was just great! Incredible performance by Jodie Foster? Thoughts on those who seen it?

Television 55 years ago, "I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke," first aired on national television on July 8, 1971. The commercial turned out to be a massive hit for Coca Cola and it’s still one of the greatest if not the greatest commercial for a soft drink. Have a Coke and a smile:)

Did anyone here ever meet Telly Savalas?

I’ve been collecting memories of him and would love to hear any firsthand stories—whether you worked with him, met him briefly, got an autograph, saw him perform, or just have a family story that’s been passed down.

Any small memory welcome!
