Red...that would be me...no dolls for me; always preferred toys and sports equipment.

I vividly remember the Christmas my Dad did his shopping at Sonny's Surplus (surplus as in military themed stuff). We got helmets, canteens, ammo belts, compasses, etc. I was probably about 8 years old. I'm sure all that stuff got re-surplused within a couple of years.
