Look what I found!

OK - I think I got it. 1952 was a leap year, and MM's first starring role in "Don't Bother to Knock." (She was "born" in that leap year...) And needless to say, we're ALL looking for a kettle from '52!

That means, so far, Dazzo is the grand wazoo of oldsters here at the WKC. Thanks for making me feel young!

Sorry Marty, time to feel old again   

In 1946, she began using the stage name Marilyn Monroe, but did not legally change her name until February 23, 1956.

Also a leap year.

My BD isn't until Saturday   

You win!

Actually, I think buckie still wins   

[MartyG]

Well buckie does have the grand wazoo look and all...

Sounds like we need a class of '56/'57 meetup someday.

Oh, and 58 is the new 39 anyway.

Oh man....

Nate, just an awesome score. Many would take that windshield time. And free! Pinch 10X!!!

Buckie and Marty I feel your pain, we are elders. But i think my Woody is older than me, at least I think so...

Jeezus, What a gorgeous grill.

And the chicken looked good too.

[pbe gummi bear]

Beautiful. Congrats on the score and kudos for cooking on it.

[SixZeroFour]

Oh man that's amazing!! Killer find charred!

[charred]

Wow. Just wow. That is awesome. Where in upstate NY did you find it?

Ooops-sorry for the delayed response- outside Oneonta. "Central" NY. Where are you?


PS- And thanks to all for the kind words!

[OGlenn]

Don't get me wrong, I am really happy that you got this grill and became a member of this forum. I do have to say that I'm pretty upset with myself for not seeing this one on Craigslist  I live right near Oneonta.  That is an amazing find and Im really glad that it was saved and will be enjoyed.

I drove through Stamford on the way.

Rt.s 82 and 23, mostly. Beautiful country!
