I don't remember the beggers, but in Williamston MI, where I grew up (in the 50's), they did take the trick or treat part seriosly. My family used to make the kids do a trick before treating them to candy. A kid would have to sing or dance or tell a joke. My Aunt Rose played the piano and at least they would make you sing,"Happy Birthday." What fun!

I'm curious. What exactly happens when I hit "Create New Conversation"?

Thanks Charlie for this new addition. I have wanted to ask the good folks in the Copper Country a question for some time but it didn't fit with the Todays Picture format. I would like to know if any one could give me some information on 2 friends I knew back in '56-'57. Bob and "Babe" Zimmer. Bob worked for UP Power and Babe was a route man for Bridgeman-Russell ice cream. Both belonged to the Methodist church and were Masons.Thier father was a retired engineer from the Copper Range railroad( I think). I would really like to hear from them that is if they wish it. Thank you.

kool idea Charlie, this alternative page. You guys walk a fine line beween necessary censorship and allowing people the freedom to speak their minds without infringing too much on other peoples' taste.
I love graphics! Very cute. A lot of postings on here aren't as interesting. Keep it up! Bah Humbug to those that don't like them. Funny, the person that said these people turn out their lights on Halloween. I remember some of those when I was a kid. I also remember the ones that gave out full size candybars or a quarter. That was BIG.

Just a point - Brad/Tom could be two people using a router and 2 PCs. We have cable internet and a router and get the same IP address regardless of which room we are in. Granted, since both posts were removed you could very well be right... Personally, I'm trying to be less cynical (to keep me from imploding during election week), so I'm looking for the positive.
