Cowboy attire and armaments were in vogue for all of us as Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, The Lone Ranger, Davy Crocket, Rin Tin Tin and other westerns were very popular. We all loved Tonto and so we also loved bow and arrows. That year we also got pogo sticks bicycles and more - an assortment that would not be permitted these days without helmets and other protective gear! You can see our backyard with an entire playground of equipment, too. It was a time when you left the house in the morning to play with your friends and didn't come back until you needed to use the bathroom or eat lunch! Each Christmas, Mama spent a fortune on all sorts of toys that we didn't even know we wanted.
