Linda Beal Walker, Class of '66 - (Linda scores 9.5 out of 10 because of her answer to 8. Looks like another flavor of Old Spice.) Memories, memories, memories, even for a shy highschool girl like me:
After graduation, I worked with a young man that wore Canoe. I followed him like a puppy dog. Not only did he smell good but is was REALLY cute too.

Mike Griffith, Class of '66 - (9.7) You missed one ... after our BB (Before Beatles) flat-top, the barber would slap a little "Pinaud" powder on a whisk bush and dust the back of our necks. As a young kid, I can remember watching them shave someone (after applying hot lather and sharpening their straight-razor on a leather strap) and then applying "Pinaud - Clubman" after shave. I always wanted to get a shave like that, but when I finally did I was overseas in the Army and was disappointed that there was no "Pinaud."
The barber I use now does not offer shaves, as he says that people will not pay for the amount of labor involved, but he does have a bottle of "Pinaud - Clubman" on his counter.
Also I agree with Charlie Hancock in that every time I catch a whiff of burning diesel fuel, I think of mornings in Viet Nam (unlike Charlie, during the local holidays, when the hired papa-sans didn't come and burn it, we had to ... that's when everyone wanted to be outside the wire rather than in base-camp; Charlie must have been Air Force).

Barb Biggs Knott, Class of '66 - (7) Like just about everyone else, I knew last week’s bottle was Old Spice. This week’s contest was a little more difficult. I think I got most of them, but nos. 5 and 7 just stumped me. Here are my guesses: Out of all of the above, Brut was my favorite.

Back Issues
Linda Kinkle Cianci
Class of '66
Just now reading back issues after many weeks with no time (had twin granddaughters born in January). Always great to read everyone's comments.
My sister gave me the first season of "Leave it to Beaver" on CD last year, in a nifty little metal Beaver lunchbox. Mike and I have enjoyed watching these "age of innocence" shows with our four-year old grandson. After one such day, just before Jake turned four, he returned home and informed his parents he would just run away and never come back if they didn't let him do what he wanted. They were speechless and baffled. A couple of days later, it dawned on me where he'd gotten the idea. The last episode of Beaver we had watched was the one where he ran away from home, climbed a tree, and refused to come down at his parents' pleading, saying his dad would beat him. As Ward said, "why Beaver, you know I'd never beat you..", Beaver replied ..and was quickly hushed.. "uh huh, Dad, remember that time...."
Then there was the episode where one of Beaver's friends took Ward's electric drill and drilled lots of holes in the garage door. Everyone should watch these old episodes with their grandchildren (and children). They're a hoot!
