Loved this. My Dad always had us carry a pocket knife, a quarter, a handkerchief, a lighter (even tho we were kids and didn’t smoke) and a dollar bill in our sock. So that way we were never broke. Most of us boys carried a “pocket protector” so our Schafer Ink Pens wouldn’t leak all over our white school shirts. And reading the Sunday funnies, is still a favorite childhood memory. In color!

SSgt Kelly D. We still have them, but the funny thing is that the printed edition has far less than the online edition.

SGT Kevin Hughes Same here, but I guess technically it's a fob, not keys :-))

Do you mean the “ring” a rubber leaves in a Wallet? I was afraid to mention that. My older brothers had one in their wallets. Not sure if that was for luck, or wishful thinking.
