Today’s Monday Meal is brought to you by Howdy Doody. It’s Kellogg’s Marshmallow “Crispy Squares.” It’s so easy, even a puppet can make it!
Yes siree, Mom! Make some for the kids tonight! It’s so easy – once they taste ’em they’ll make ’em for themselves!
More likely they will whine until YOU make more!
Touch of Retro wishes you a happy 4th of July!

Gale Storm, one of television’s early stars, died last Saturday at the age of 87. After appearing in many B-movie roles, she rose to stardom in 1952 with the hit series, My Little Margie (1952-1955). During her second hit TV show, The Gale Storm Show (1955-1960), she had three hit records, “I Hear You Knocking,” “Teenage Prayer” and “Dark Moon.”
Below is a clip of her singing “Dark Moon” from her television show, The Gale Storm Show-Oh Susanna!
