THIS SET IS THE EXACT SET THAT I RECEIVED FOR CHIRSTMAS IN 1963 AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE FAMILY SLIDE SCAN FROM THAT CHRISTMAS DAY:
I THINK MY SISTER GOT RIPPED OFF THAT YEAR...LOL. ALL SHE GOT WAS THE CLOTHES SHE IS WEARING AND THAT SNOW CONE MAKER. MY BROTHER AND I GOT THE CLOTHES WE'RE WEARING (MY ONCE FAVORITE DANIEL BOONE PJ'S), THE RACE CAR SET TOGETHER, I GOT FT. APACHE AND HE GOT BATTLEGROUND PLAYSETS. I ALSO RECEIVED THE UNCLE WIGGILY GAME YOU CAN SEE UNDER MY BROTHER'S PUZZLE ON THE COUCH. I'VE TRIED TO REPLACE THAT AURORA RACE CAR SET IN THE FAMILY SLIDE, BUT NONE OF THEM HAVE SHOWN UP ON EBAY SINCE I'VE BEEN LOOKING.
I ALSO BOUGHT A TON OF BOARD GAMES ON EBAY TO PLAY WITH OUR GRANDKIDS AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS PHOTO OF OUR SPARE BEDROOM CLOSET:
IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING HOW I AFFORDED ALL OF THIS - MY DAD DIED THE END OF AGUST 2009. MY BROTHER, SISTER AND I SOLD HIS HOUSE AND SPLIT THE PROCEEDS 3 WAYS. THE MONEY ALSO HELPED MY WIFE AND I MOVE BACK TO HER HOMETOWN WHERE ALL OF HER FAMILY STILL LIVES.
