1. So do I...

Kids would be better off these days if they had Captain Kangaroo.
I loved the Ping Pong Balls and Mr. Moose, Dancing Bear, Grandfather Clock and Tom Terrific. Sigh...

At a yard sale, no less. I looked up & there he was. At the age of 30-something my heart skipped a beat. So yes, I miss him, too.

6. A friend of mine went to high school with the Captain's son...

and would spend weekends at his house in Virginia during the 60's.
The dude got to hang around with Captain Kangaroo!

my folks B&W TV.
