Larry Blanchard notes:

The salesmen used to chase us out because every small boy in town loved
to run in and x-ray his feet :-).


Heh. Maybe that's what's wrong with the younger generation.

And how about the radium in the Tom Mix (?) rings. You put it up to your
eye and watched the sparks :-).


In my case, Jack Armstrong, All American Boy! The ring sucked. I never did see
it glow.

Maybe it was Jack Armstrong. I do remember I had to be in a dark room to
see the sparks. To be more accurate, the fission tracks. Mine wasn't
supposed to "glow".
