I think they had a model designed specifically for mothers-in-law, stuffed with ball bearings.

Yah. Or they could be painted canvas filled with compressed air! I wonder if they had balsa wood imports by then? Of course, there's Cheez Whiz.

I remember all those old life preserver thingies. My grandmothers and great aunts used to have them hanging in their boathouses. Am I just old, or were the new things introduced not that long ago? (I realize that the two possibilities are not mutually exclusive.) It seems like when I got into high school, and started hanging out with boys who were interested in outdoor activities like camping, and hiking, that I started seeing the new stuff, and I assumed that it was just something that you bought if you had a lot of money (we moved to a much nicer neighborhood).
