It put a nice twist on Sunday morning having Mr.Magic as a religion mentor.

I am old but some things you don't forget.<BR/><BR/>The Bozo pictured was Frank Katy who played a variety of characters for WJRT-12.<BR/><BR/>Channel 12 has been playing some old clips as of late...this is their 50th anniversary.<BR/><BR/>I have a hard time imagining Frank losing his cool and being mean to a kid....however I can understand how it happens. Some kids want to pull the clowns nose or squeeze it. Also stepping on a clown's shoes is another favorite. Usually the kids are being encouraged by an adult to perform the abuse. Sorry about being on my clown soap box.<BR/><BR/>Yes, Feke and Yott grocery it was quite a big deal when it opened. I remember it being a strange little market much smaller than Hamady brothers or Kroger but easier to run in and grab something and the meat was great.<BR/><BR/>Velvet is right Gracie was a part of Feke and Yott....the steaks at gracies are great and used to be better when they raised their own beef.Dave McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551397785293594544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-81242818173209526342008-12-15T20:30:00.000-08:002008-12-15T20:30:00.000-08:00On closer inspection you can see that that is not ...On closer inspection you can see that that is not Wonder Bread. Wonder has the colorful dots all over the package. Also, I seem to remember Bozo bread from when I was really small. <BR/><BR/>Is that the Flint Bozo? My Mom told me a really funny story about him getting a punch in the mouth from an irate Mother who saw him be mean to her kid. It's not a good idea to be mean to people's kids, they tend to harm you.Teresa Lotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11427257069548515341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3244123422713926575.post-79477736340226959062008-12-15T20:21:00.000-08:002008-12-15T20:21:00.000-08:00Wow, I remember Feke and Yott, though I only remem...Wow, I remember Feke and Yott, though I only remember the one on Pasadena and not Ballenger Hwy. When I was growing up it was already a Rollerworld.<BR/><BR/>An interesting FYI...anyone ever been to Gracie's Steak House? It's pretty popular. Anyway, Gracie's last name is Yott.
