I sure do remember those!  That one was on my 12th birthday.  Earlier that day I had braces put on my teeth.  My mom made a birthday cake adorned with a smiley with braces.

BTW, there is a bas relief depicting the Liberty Tree, still on the corner of Boylston and Essex Streets, now the home of the Registry of Motor Vehicles.

Remember the Bicentenial Minute? 

It was a commercial type history lesson each night on the CBS television network that ran for a couple of years before the U.S. Bicentenial and ended at the end of 1976. Here is Jessica Tandy:

I remember that!
I thought that was cool.
I seem to always remember it in conjunction with the waltons for some reason.

They did have that Waltonesque quality.

Wow Paul, I totally missed that was your birthday, man what a present, but it seems to have worked.  ;D

Hey there, Tru!  It was great to talk to you today!  The other movie I am seeing tomorrow is NEWCASTLE - there's surfing going on too.

Swimsuit? Check. :)
