Message: [QUOTE="Steelerone, post: 3484626, member: 8313"] When I was 15 I worked a gentleman named "George"who owned one of the pool rooms in New Ken. (In Pa.) After school he would give me an empty cigar box and I would go up and down all the stores on 4th and 5th ave. Men and women would give me various amounts of money with a white sheet of paper with a number from one to one 999 written on it. I'd take it back to him and later that afternoon, after the stock market report came out (the final three numbers were the numbers for that day) I'd answer the phone and people would ask, "Whats Ralph Kiner Hitting?" It gave me free access to the pool tables, concession stand, and twenty five dollars a week. Every person alive should have been able to experience the 50's. [/QUOTE]
