I Rode the Parachute Jump at Coney Island as a child in the late '50s.

Post by rofisher »

Hi from snowy northcentral Pennsylvania. The temp here is 18 now, last night it got down to 6! I have 14" of snow in my yard with another 4" forecast for tomorrow.
I try to watch 2 or 3 Bonanza episodes every day, sometimes more. I find them on wonderful YouTube.
And yes, I rode the Parachute Jump at Coney Island a long time ago. It is now a beautiful National Historic Site.
I was surfing Bonanza stuff on the internet and found this site. I hope it is as much fun as I expect and hope it to be.

Hello from Pennsylvania

Post by rofisher »

Just got in and wanted to say "Hi!" from Northcentral Pennsylvania.
My friends just can't understand my addiction to watching Bonanza shows. I try to see 2 or 3 everyday.
Anyway, "Hello".
