I got a lot of mileage out of my all A report cards--free Big Boys and free Cleveland Press Indian tickets.

Here is the sad part, my Dad sat in the parking lot while I went in alone for my sandwich. We could not afford for all of us to go in. I think the steel mill was layed off or on strike at the time. I am a better person for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
