Very Strange Experience.

Last night, Monday Oct 7, I was at a party for a 3 month old baby. Very cute, but at the end of the evening the host played a video of me being on Candid Camera in 1964. Now that was 55 years ago. So I was a delivery boy and I went to an address, and saw a sign on a door that said "Nudist Convention Colony all entrants must be properly attired." I scratched my head and said, "Can I take off half my clothes.?.. And that was on coast to coast TV on a very popular show in 1964. ( And the host of last nights party went to a lot of trouble to get that video..believe me..)

What was strange for me, (I had seen that before) but how I looked when I was 18. A young, handsome, thin fellow delivering packages. I ain't the same now, but yes, I was on Candid Camera in 1964..

last weekend. I haven't thought of that show in years. This clip is from the early 60s. I love the lady's expressions. Her hair and glasses are priceless.

It was an actual highjack and passengers recognized him and thought it was a set-up

I still have the same slim, trim physique I had at 18.

It's just better protected by the newer, thicker outer layer.

that has access to old Video Tapes. She found him on line somewhere She contacted him, she approved the terms of finding the episode, and a few weeks later she received the video of that particular episode of Candid Camera. I don't know what it cost, but it must have been reasonable. Evidently, somewhere in California there is a collection of old videos of TV shows. I offered to pay for it, but she refused.. It was played late in the party, after some people had left, and after we had something to eat. I got a copy of the video, and will watch it if I get a chance. I ain't the same young lad I was in 1964.
