When I turned 4 years old in February of 1974, I received the following gifts:

• brown slacks from my grandpa Kurt and grandma Alberta Leucht
• three Lego (R) cars from the Roemer family

• two night lights from my Uncle Roy and Aunt Evelyn Turner
• a five dollar bill from my grandma Mary Sherer

• a truck and cars from my aunt Kay, actually she’s my cousin
• a gun, holster, and mask from my aunt Jackie, actually she’s also my cousin
• a truck, pony trailer, and cake from my parents

• four pennies and a card from Annabelle
• candy and a dime and some gum from Mrs Kelley
• the game Cootie (R) from the Harris family

• and a card from Linda (possibly Miss Kreps?)

Why do I know all this?  Because my mom wrote it all down, of course!

This trip down memory lane was brought to you by my mom … with a little help from First Security Bank of Mackinaw Illinois!  Whose slogan was apparently “The sign of a good bank, with time for you”, which makes absolutely no sense!   🙂

Thanks for your interest!

Kurt
