“Hey Mom” “ yes Dad” this was a standard conversation of parents of the day. As every one should know husband and wife should never think of calling themselves “Mom and Dad” but this was that time, in time. “Give Brigan Boy some money for some sigs and don‘t forget his note” said Dad. Mom was great and fast with the money and note:
Dear Fran,
One pack of Players (the blue package ones) and 25 cents of candy for Brian.
Sincerely
Sally
That was all it took for the little boy of eight years old to get a package of “Players” brand cigarettes from the corner store.
