14 when 'Raiders' came out:
- grampa's brown fedora
- Johnson-Smith catalog 10ft whip (still have it)
- old olive drab backpack which had straps that detached from the bottom, so I clipped the bottoms together: voila, shoulder bag!
- cap gun
- 'Members Only' jacket (hey, this was 1981, okay?)
I'm amazed at how 20 years have passed, and Indy still holds a place of great influence in my day-to-day activities. Glad to see it does for others, too!
Take care.
