Raise your hand if you have a Fort Apache play set, a pea shooter or a piece of Teaberry gum.
Memories? Remember that long wait, about three minutes usually, for the TV to warm up? Remember when nobody ever asked where the car keys were?.......in the car, in the ignition and doors that were never locked. Did you ever eat Kool Aid powder with sugar already in it? How about those wax coke shaped bottles with colored sugar water inside? Baseball cards in bike spokes.....cool. I double dog dare you.

NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
The Kornerman liked this.......
THIS IS US.........
Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know we take full responsibility for all we have done and do not blame others.
However, upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was NOT senior citizens who took....
The melody out of music, the pride out of appearance, the courtesy out of driving, the romance out of love, the commitment out of marriage, the responsibility out of parenthood, the learning out of education, the service out of patriotism, the civility out of behavior, the refinement out of language, the prudence out of spending and the ambition out of achievement.
And, certainly, we are not those who eliminated patience and tolerance from personal relationships and interactions with others.
And, we do understand the meaning of patriotism, and remember those who fought and died for our country.
Yes, I'm a senior citizen.
I'm the life of the party, even if it lasts until 8 p.m..
I'm very good at opening children's pill caps......with a hammer.
I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.
I'm smiling all the time because I can't hear what you're saying.
I'm sure everything I can't find is in a safe, secure place,....... somewhere.
I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that's just my left leg.
I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.
SPREAD THE LAUGHTER, SHARE THE JOY.
LET'S BE HAPPY WHILE WE'RE HERE.

FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT - BUSY TIMES
Busy, busy times. School is starting. Football is starting. Labor Day is coming. Pufferbilly Days and Super Nationals are coming and with them, an influx of folks from all over the U.S..
The new McDonald's won't be ready this time but progress seems to be moving forward and it appears, if the weatherman cooperates, they will meet their Grand Opening wish of early October.
And, let's face it, McDonald's is kind of a community hub.
K-----K
Win some, lose some. Scooter's Coffee House is coming but we have lost the Tic Toc.
Loren Frazier, BHS-58, commented, "I was sad to click on the Boone News Republican online this morning and find that the Tic Toc had closed. Pat and I made it a point to dine at the Tic Toc anytime we were in Boone. The food was great and we really enjoyed visiting with Victor Martinez, the owner and manager of the restaurant. Boone has lost a tremendous asset with the closing of that restaurant. It is too bad that the restaurant did not get the local support it needed to survive."
The Kornerman never heard a bad report on the restaurant's management or the quality of food. In fact, now that the bad news has hit.......there's been an avalance of positive reviews of the "great" food available and wonderful work of the staff. However, its a bit late and a shame. It's true, Boone has now lost another wonderful asset and its also true, its a community "fault." No excuses. The support simply wasn't provided and, as hard as they tried, as a result, Victor and his crew were unable to continue.
K-----K
John Kueck, BHS-61, wonders, "are there girls on Boone Little League teams? Does Boone have a girls softball Little League?"
Why certainly.......for many years.......many successful years. Several "honor" teams have rolled successfullly down the tournament trail. The Kornerman remembers one particular year when they were just a step or two away from national tournament participation.
Its been a successful program and many outstanding Toreador high school players got their start in the Little League program.
K-----K
A couple editions ago we had highlighted some memories of the Barstad's, Bob and Veloise, both BHS-46, and their restaurant operating days in Boone.
Just days later, now, we hear of the passing of Veloise, who was always right by Bob's side during those Hickory Haus and Imperial Inn days.
Voloise Ahrens Barstad, 91, died in McKinney, TX. A son, Robert, and daughter, Rhonda, survive. Boone area survivors are her sister-in-law, Sherrill Barstad Balcom and Jack Balcom who, after being gone for a number of years, have returned "home."
BOONE CONNECTED DEATHS: Gwen Ann Poutre, 70, Boone. Survivors include a son, Steve, daughter, Michelle, and a sister..........Viola Mae Sturtz, 93, Ogden. Born in Ogden. Paton HS-42. Earned a degree from AIB. Married Dean Sturtz in 1975 and worked for a number of years in the Boone County Treasurer's office, eventually becoming Deputy Boone County Treasurer. Survivors include a son, Richard, daughters, Janine and Karen, and step-children, Richard Sturtz of Ogden and Michelle..........Virginia Knoploh, 92, Ames. She and her husband, Henry, lived in several Iowa communities, including Boone. Survivors are Henry, a son, Greg, and a daughter, Lana...........Jeanne Baughman, Ames. Boone area survivor is a son, Eric Knight, of Boone. Her husband, Bob, and three other children and a sister also survive...........Geraldine Moss Johnson, 90, Jefferson. Formerly of Boone. BHS-47. Married Bruce Johnson in 1947. Was a housewife and owned and operated a sewing craft store in Boone for many years.

PICTURE MEMORIES
Max Moore, BHS-46, often sends pictures to the Korner, primarily of Boone and Iowa, that provide some nice memories.
Most recently, he sent a traditional picture of the Boone and Scenic Valley train roaring over the Boone river valley but also a picture of Bob Barstad, BHS-46, in his chef's garb.
Bob and his wife, Veloise Ahrens Barstad, BHS-46, owned and operated some wonderful eating establishments in Boone many years ago.
Remember the Hickory Haus, which was located in the Stoll Bottling Works building just north of the fire station on Allen Street? Makes me think of biscuits and gravy, pecan and cinnamon rolls and various other goodies.
Later, they had the restaurant portion of the American Inn Motel on South Story.
I recall a particular visit with Bob when he told me of his experience with the wonderful singer, Anne Murray......who became one of the best female vocalists ever.
Yes, Anne Murray, in her early years "on the road," appeared at the American Inn and Bob recalled how upset she was about her career path at that time . He described her as being in tears and not a bit happy with how things were developing. She seemed about to "give it up." Bob, of course, tried to provide encouragement.
We know what, eventually, happened after that. Numerous best selling records and many and various honors and awards.
Bob's younger brother, Leland "Lee" Barstad, BHS-53, was a classmate of mine and then there was Sherrill, BHS-56, who with her husband, Jack Balcom, returned "home" to Boone a couple years ago after living down south for quite some time.
K-----K
BITS AND PIECES: (1) Kathleen Wheelock wondered if what she had heard was true. She understood Roger Martin, BHS-69, had purchased the old Boyd's Dairy ice cream recipe for use in his new Big Kahuna ice cream shop. The Kornerman replied that, "I don't think so." Roger is using an ice cream brand from "out of state." I believe its Austin or Astin or something like that. (2) John Kueck, BHS-61, mentioned that Bacon Jewelers were the successor too and the purchaser of his uncle Jule Kueck's Jewelry. He wrote, "I see they have moved their store to the Highway 30 area and I wondered if there are any other jewelry stores left in Boone? No, since the closing of Eckstein's, Bacon's stand alone. (3) Rudy Knight, BHS-71, was sorry to learn in the Korner the passing of Jon Welin, BHS-70. Rudy wrote, "Jon and I worked together at J.C. Petersen Clothing in the early 70's." He added, "thank you for your continued column as I really do enjoy reading it on a weekly basis."
(4) People have wondered......Pufferbilly Days is September 6-8 this year.
K-----K
The Kornerman says, "I know, sometimes our viewers "let us down a bit" by their lack of memory contributions to the Korner. But even if we just come up with the obituaries alone twice a week, I'm proud to provide that service, especially to out-of-state residents who have no other way of knowing about the deaths of old friends or even family members due to our available limited media outlets."
