1972 :  I am one year old July MEMORY: According to my parents I was never to far away from my rocking horse.Do they even make these classic toys anymore?

1972 :  I am one year old December 25  MEMORY: My Snoopy Joe cool shirt reads,"He probably thinks I'm on the Olympic team". I was never a gifted athelete,but I always tried my best.I have been into playing sports since my early years.

1972 :  I am one year old December 25  Big Wheel I loved my big wheel,it was awsome! The only bad thing I remember was the detachable seat,the pegs and holes could get easily mutilated.The end result was my seat often popped out of the holes resulting in a loss of back support. The above listed picture was my second Christmas gift.I have always been into vehicles of any type and this may be one of the reasons why.My pre-Big Wheel was a bad to the bone all terrain vehicle. SEE ALSO: Big Wheel

1973 :  I am 2 years old Fisher-Price Little People I had the garage,jet plane and atv explorer.These toys were the most used and abused in my collection.They were awsome.The Fisher Price factory is only one half hour from my house,they have a great museum filled with all the classics. An often told story by my mother has me riding my atv explorer naked down the sidewalk when I was two years old.Apparently I snuck out,she looked out the window to see me riding into the sunset. I still remember the sound of the horn on the atv,as well as putting lots of pennies in the slot by the shifter.This was by far my favorite toy as a young boy. Movies from 1973 I have seen and enjoyed American Graffiti......Still one of my all time favorites Live and Let Die Charlotte's Web Godzilla vs Megalon T.V. shows from 1973 I liked and have watched through reruns School House Rock $10,000 Pyramid Six Million Dollar Man Favorite Songs and Artists of 1973 Simple Kind of Man and Tuesday's Gone by Lynyrd Skynyrd You Can't Always Get What You Want by The Rolling Stones Feeling Stronger Every Day by Chicago Blinded By The Light by Bruce Springsteen Time by Pink Floyd Favorite cars of 1973 Corvette Stingray Fiat Spider Dodge Challenger Pontiac Trans Am SEE ALSO:

1976 :  I am 5 years old KISS I remember being in kindergarten and first grade and being a KISS fan.Somehow without my parents knowledge I saw a concert on HBO,Gene Simmons spewing blood and fire and those costumes.I was hooked on rock at a tender age.I had the lunch box and a few albums,trading cards and a Destroyer jig saw puzzle.Of course I had mom put her lipstick on my face and I ran around the neighborhood as Peter Criss,Gene Simmons was to artisically challenging.These guys were the epitome of cool in the 1970's.

1976 :  I am 5 years old September First Day of School There isn't a whole lot I remember about my first day of Kindergarten,but my picture speaks for itself.I was a 70's kid with my own individuality.I know from my mom that I chose my shirt(with images of flying dirtbikes) for that first day.These were pre-backpack days,we carried the pictured pillowcase like bags.Most of my classmates bought the school bag with it's logo and colors,I opted for the Crown Royal purple bag.I don't think I was scared,as I had two buddies from my street by my side.I remember getting a cubby to store my things in and sitting next to a nice girl and a boy named Peter who had bad breath and severley cracked,chapped lips.School turned out okay,I stuck around the system for twelve more years.

SEE ALSO:

1977 :  I am 6 years old Star Wars I was six years old,saw it in the theater and was blown away.With the exception of Saving Private Ryan,no other film on the big screen has awed me the way Star Wars did. When I started gathering information for 1977 I soon realized this went from a typical year to being one of my favorites media-wise.Some of my still all time favorites came from 1977. Favorite T.V. shows that debuted in 1977 CHIPS Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew Mysteries Three's Company (I was not allowed to watch when it originally aired) This Week In Baseball Eight Is Enough Favorite movies of 1977 Star Wars (I saw it six times in the theater) Slapshot (best hockey movie ever) Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo (I saw it in the theater) Smokey and the Bandit Close Encounters of the Third Kind Pete's Dragon Favorite songs and artists of 1977 Hotel California by The Eagles Peg by Steely Dan I Want You To Want Me by Cheap Trick Pinhead by The Ramones Only one car from 1977 stands out,and it was the Trans Am made famous by Burt Reynolds.
