milehiiu Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 I was pre-school and still have vivid memories of my dad stoking our coal fired furnace in the basement before we went to bed at night. We had a coal bin in the basement. With a window out, and a coal chute instead. Coal delivered in the fall. Before the cold hit. Truck delivered the coal. It was an exciting time to watch the coal delivery to the coal chute. At first by hand with a wheel barrow. Took a long time to fill the bin. Then, the truck was equipped with a conveyor belt. Got the job done quickly. Not as much fun to watch. But still exciting. Later, we took the coal furnace out. And replaced it with an oil burning furnace. Two oil tanks in the old coal bin. With a pipe line running from the tanks to the furnace. Now instead of the coal delivery, we got an oil delivery each fall. Wow. My dad no longer had to tend the furnace in the winter time ! And then. Northern Indiana Public Service company buried a gas line from the alley to the back of our house, one summer. And converted the furnace from an oil burner to a gas burner. It was fun watching them cut the oil tanks out and removing them. Even an automatic thermostat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we had a school nurse, even then. I remember that as well. And getting the shot. Still remember the nurse putting the bandage on my arm after getting my shot.

Like that was going to protect us? Well now. In grade school. Not only did we have desks with ink wells. But our teacher would put ink in them and hand out ink pens. For us to use. And we had to wash them out before handing them back to the teacher. Not sure what happened to the ink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each with a bed for when kids were sick, and got to the nurse. Who then determined how sick the kids were, before calling a parent to come and pick them up, or send them back to class. One room, was where the shots were given, behind a closed door to each individual kid. So no one could see. As the others lined up in the office, and into the hall. Some kids came out crying after the shot. Which freaked me out. But when I came out. I came out with a smile. Saying it was not bad at all.

iamaparker1 Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 As a child (5-8) my chore was to get coal from the coal pile for our coal stoves. I remember when they installed our indoor bathroom. Knights first year is when I graduated from IU. My dad wedding gift to me was an antenna with rotar so I could watch the Hoosiers on channel 4.

milehiiu Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 As a grade school youngster. I would take my transistor radio into my bedroom. Extend the antenna. And snuggle up on the bed. And wait for the local radio stations to go off the air, so that I could pull in WOWO from Fort Wayne all the way to Gary. In order to listen to IU basketball. That's when Walter Bellamy became my all time IU favorite player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

List three things that will help identify how old you are. One of them has to be Indiana Basketball related! 1) I remember the cheapest gas I ever bought was 26¢ 2) I was in Thomas Elementary Grade School in Chesterton when we got news of the Kennedy assassination! 3) I was a senior in High school when George McGinnis was playing at IU. I'm a bit behind you, but also from Chesterton originally! Here are mine: 1. My username (BEKA) stands for Brian Evans Kicks A**. My favorite era of IU basketball (I was a little too young for the 75-76 teams) 2. When I first moved to Bloomington, Garcia's Pizza and Karma Records were 2 of my favorite hangouts. 3. I was in middle school and there are two things I remember about March, 1981 - Ronald Reagan assassination attempt and IU winning the NCAAT. We were on our way back from a family trip to Pennsylvania and listened to everything unfold on the AM car radio the day it happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
