re: #63 Decatur Deb
I remember that in 6th grade we were impressed by one of their first Radar Ranges, bought for a princely sum by Debbie Reynolds. (From the date, it was probably one made by the originators.)
My cousins had an early microwave and I remember them showing me what happened when you put one of those chili-stuffed hot dogs into it: “It’s like an old wino in the alley, first it shakes, then it sweats then it spews out both ends!”
