we had a pretty substantial collection.

My brothers are 5 and 7 years older than me. So I guess they were done reading them. One day I come home and found out that my oldest brother and my mother had packed them all up and taken them to the Children's Hospital in town.

Boy I wish she just let me pick out a few to keep.

At 10 cents throw we were only spending a couple bucks a week, most of which we earned mowing lawns etc.

This was @1963 or so.
