SAY IT AIN'T SO, JOE!
Russell sez: the
dates shown here were rather, ummm, ambitious. I-65 around Hoover
wasn't complete until 1979. And the section from there to
Alabaster didn't open until 1981. And I-65 wasn't open to
Warrior until ... 1985!!
(that's about the time 459 was finished around the city)
Why was I reacting this way on Christmas morning 1975? I had just gotten my first
Super 8 home movie camera!
(before the day was over, I was already
writing scripts I intended to produce
... some of which actually got done ...)

other OTR recordings for the princely sum of -nada-. |

The daily countdown was
no longer sponsored by
Christmas Seals! |
Names one does not normally
connect ... Oral Roberts,
Jerry Lewis and
H. R. Pufnstuf? |

Movies based on comic strips had
certainly changed since "Li'l
Abner" and "A Boy Named
Charlie Brown." |
Stay tuned for the forthcoming website, "Kmart Rewound"
(I'm surprised they've held in this long!!)
It wasn't Sears in the '70s without Pooh!!
