Then I recall the announcement of Brezhnev's demise. The ceremony of becoming a pioneer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_movement). Our first color TV set some time throughout the 1980s... The events of Aug 1991 and me sitting in front of that TV set trying to tune in to the BBC or CNN or whatever channel that was apparently broadcasting over to us. I also recall the Electornika supermarket kind of shop when I was like the 8th grade. My programmable calculator bought at the time still works by the way. My first cup of real black coffee towards the end of school. Wonderful memories of Moscow State University class rooms where I was listening to math and physics lectures having ran away from Kerosinka that happened to be not too far away. Got A's later one 'cause I kind of knew the material... So, effectively, as my age suggests I am the child of 1980's.

Sorry Boris. I did not make that comment for your benefit, or to correct you.

Re: OT Ya know you're old when you remember...
Ann, Are you certain the photo of your father using the dictaphone in the automobile was taken in *his* car, and not in an automobile belonging to the Dictaphone Company? It most certainly is NOT the car shown in #12 mothermemidgeoldcar. That car doesn't have the side window for the back seat clearly evident in the photo of him using the dictaphone in the car. The back window seen in #1 popincarwithdictaphone doesn't look like the rear seat passenger window in #11 popstudab1941b - it doesn't show the frame for that smaller triangular section the Studebaker has at the back of the window. Plus, it looks like there's a third side window behind the one you can see between your father's head and the Dictaphone machine. The instrument cluster appears to be kind of unique. And the car has a floor mounted or firewall mounted shift lever. I think the key to identifying the car is going to be if someone recognizes the instrument cluster design.

Re: OT Ya know you're old when you remember...
Ann's photos are mostly from 1940 - 1941. World War II was entering it's third year in Europe and fifth year in China - although the Japanese occupation of Manchuria was already a decade old. The US was not yet really at war in 1941, although Germany's U-boat campaign had arrived at our Atlantic coastline. The U.S. Coast Guard was already fighting an undeclared war; the U.S. Navy and the other services were not yet actively engaged. It's not until the end of 1941 that Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor and Germany's declaration of war on the U.S. brought the United States into the war as an actively declared belligerent. And since by that time, Germany had already invaded the Soviet Union, the U.S. and the Soviets became, if somewhat reluctantly, allies for the duration.

Hmm -- good point... I think that may be the answer... It simply had not occured to me. And then I don't care what kind of car it is , actually - well, curious, but no more. I was hoping to find the identity of the car we had before 1941. And I did notice at some point what you mentioned about the windows, which had me confused. Thanks, John! ann It most certainly is NOT the car shown in #12 mothermemidgeoldcar. That car doesn't have the side window for the back seat clearly evident in the photo of him using the dictaphone in the car. The back window seen in #1 popincarwithdictaphone doesn't look like the rear seat passenger window in #11 popstudab1941b - it doesn't show the frame for that smaller triangular section the Studebaker has at the back of the window. Plus, it looks like there's a third side window behind the one you can see between your father's head and the Dictaphone machine. The instrument cluster appears to be kind of unique. And the car has a floor mounted or firewall mounted shift lever. I think the key to identifying the car is going to be if someone recognizes the instrument cluster design.

Re: OT Ya know you're old when you remember...
Daniel, sir, let me ever so gently remind you that I was born in 1971 in Moscow _USSR_ where I lived for the first 20 years of my life. So I am kind of fully aware of The Great Patriotic War (where my maternal father fell in the battle of Moscow in 1941 and my paternal father was wounded having left this world in 1967 2 years before I was born). There is also a Patriotic War of 1812 against Napoleon. The GPW was fought between USSR and Nazi Germany. But since I mentioned USA it kind of made sense to use the more broad term of WWII, which is also correct. In fact, both terms (The Great Patriotic War and World War II are used freely in Russia without any preference that I can imagine). Boris On 1/4/2011 6:11 PM, Daniel J.

Like Boris, perhaps another alternative experience... My first memories was when I was 3 (1963); it had something to do with a swing set in churchyard and a Petri 7s rangefinder which my mom gave to me in frustration because of my fidgetting. So those would set me off in my chosen career path :-) Since then, it was a Minolta SRT-101 when it was introduced in 1965, my favorite film was a Japanese brand named Sakura and it came in an orange box (I think it became Konica), President Ferdinand Marcos being elected and eventually taking over the country as a dictator then later being praised by the older George Bush (as head of CIA I think) for his adherence to democracy. I remember my older siblings listening to the Beatles on 45 rpm singles, then having an out of body (mind?) experience in grade three because the teacher would not allow us out of class to watch Neil Armstrong step on the moon.

Re: OT Ya know you're old when you remember...
My oldest memory is of a family trip to Bear Lake. I remember my grandmother and grandfather, aunts and uncles. I remember splashing my feet from the gunnel of a row boat, being held safely in the boat by my uncle Bill. I remember collecting little sea shells in the sands of the beach. Upon our family's return to Salt Lake City, Utah that weekend, my father read from one of the newspapers that had accumulated on our doorstep...he read that an atomic bomb had been dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. That was at the end of summer, 1945. I was three and a third years old.

Re: OT Ya know you're old when you remember...
I started out cutting grass with an old reel type push mower; $1.50 a pop for 1/4 acre lots, included raking the cuttings trimming around the foundation. That was the summer of 1960 when I was 11 years old. I earned enough that by the end of the summer I was able to invest in a cheap power mower, so the next summer I made a whole lot more money for less effort. My first real job where I worked for someone else came in 1962, when I turned 13 and could get a work permit from county social services. I got a job operating the popcorn machine taking tickets at a local theater on weekends. It was the old fashion kind of kettle machine that all the theaters now try to imitate. The new machines just aren't the same ... automated and pre-measured you can't get the old kind of lard based congealed fat we used because it's bad for your health. But the popcorn just doesn't taste as good as I remember. I had to make myself a little chart just now of school grades, school years and my age at the time to figure out just when those jobs were, and *that* is when you know you're getting old. From: Paul Stenquist My first job was cleaning the kitchen and mopping the floors at Retlaws Diner on 87th and Vernon in Chicago. It was 1959, and I was only 11 years old. I was paid $5 to do the cleanup every Saturday. Took me about 5 hours. I had to wash out all the garbage cans, throw away all the rotten produce and scrape grease off the wall behind the grill. I apparently didn't do a good enough job, because a city health inspector made them hire an adult. But I had saved some of my money, and I used it to buy a newspaper stand in the telephone company building. Sold papers at my stand and between lanes of traffic on Ashland Avenue for several years. When I was old enough to drive, I sold the paper stand, bought a car for fifty bucks, and took to delivering pizzas in the Blackstone and Avalon Park neighborhoods on Chicago's south side. That was good money for a kid.

Your jobs probably weren't covered by the Federal minimum wage, which was $0.75/hour in 1950 and went up to $1.00/hour in 1956. There were a lot of gaps in what jobs were covered by the Federal minimum wage even into the late 90s. If fact, there still are today.

Well, my earliest memories are of some of the Mercury flights. I was fascinated by them and I remember sitting in front of the TV for hours waiting for the launch. These must have pre-dated the Kennedy assassination since that was in late 63 and the program ended in May. I would have just turned 5.

Re: OT Ya know you're old when you remember...
Terry and the Pirates or was it called Flying Tigers on radio.
It was a WWII radio drama on Saturday mornings.
My aunt arranged tickets to the theater one Saturday.
I was very excited, but then baffled.
We sat in a big theater and there were some guys with a mike up front.
No airplanes, no ariel dogfights. I spent the whole time confused.
I do remember when Chicago TV signed onto the air and signed off. ('49-'50)
Kukla, Fran, and Ollie - Tom Corbett, Space Cadet - Howdy Doody Time
and a ton of Lone Ranger reels.

RE: OT Ya know you're old when you remember...
that would be fascinating, Boris. I don't have many regrets, but one of them is that I never visited a Soviet bloc country during the Cold War, esp. Russia. The other is that I did not fly straight to Berlin when the wall was coming down. It would be fascinating to have your thoughts about life there, especially with the contrast you now have. Put them on your blog. One of my exes is half-Russian, took her degree in Russian, and spent a year in Leningrad, in whichever year Brezhnev bought the kolkhoz, so to speak. A fascinating time when the threads really started to unravel. B A bit of narcissism really, bit once I wrote that message and re-read it, the idea of writing more of memories down occurred to me.

When the wall did come down, an advertising colleague was on her way to Berlin. She brought back tiny pieces of the wall and was kind enough to give me one, which I still have. She told us there had been a run on axe-picks, and that she did her best to acquire pieces of the wall that had graffiti-paint; mine is about the size of a thumb nail and has a bit of blue and silver paint on it.
