My sister-in-law is from Buffalo and was a member of the Peanut Gallery.

We had bread delivered as well as milk. And once in a while the breadman came with tiny wrapped loaves for children.

Before TV was on 24 hours a day, the screen would be filled with test patterns and the sound was an annoying whistle. But just before they went to the pattern they showed a Burl Ives cartoon of Barbara Allan and another of Susie Snowflake. I knew Barbara Allan before I was five years old. The TV was in my cousin's house. We didn't have one at the time.
