10.25.09 = This old clock radio reminded me of a similar one we had on top of the refrigerator when I was growing up. I can almost hear it now, “…Switzerland County schools, closed…Talawanda City schools, closed…” No mention of Sycamore schools, but it’s still snowing. Nothing gets a kid out of bed faster in morning than mentioning that four letter word, “SNOW”. I remember sitting in the kitchen eating breakfast, listening and waiting for the school closings on 700 WLW. “…Loveland, closed, Madeira, closed, Mariemont, closed….” Surely if Mariemont was closed we would be as well, however we had to wait through all the “Saints” before any mention of Sycamore. “…Sycamore, closed…” YES! Those were the days!

This concludes my “nostalgia” series. Thanks to all my fellow Smuggers; it’s been fun reading all your comments about coffee, lunch boxes and poor Raggedy Ann this week. Smuggers really are the best!
