Buffalo Evening News Editions

This thread got me thinking Stuck (Yes, I said thinking! :blink: ) We were always a Courier-Express family growing about until they ceased and Buffalo became a one-paper cesspool.

 

I was searching for the editions of the BEN and came up with this one. Did you ever hear of the Emergency Edition? Not really true. Funny though:

 

Emergency Edition, Friday, July 20, 1956

 

For all you Cold-War, goldy oldies out there!

 

:doh:

Geez, no wonder all the kids of my generation are on antidepressants. From years of hearing air raid sirens and hiding under our school desks.

I was born in '68... I only caught the very tale end. I think it was 1973 when I started kindergarten, that was the only year we had to do air-raid drills (under desks and out in the halls with elbows to the walls [and no, the elbow drill wasn't a flashback to my teen years! :D ]). The funny thing is that I still remember a teacher saying what they were for... The response was "To be prepared in case the communists bomb us." Come on! This was the tale end of Vietnam... :(

 

God, the good ole days... How fun they were to fug people up!

 

:D
