Of Freckle Barrels and Eyelash Wishes...

I grew up in Enid, OK., and Foreman Scotty was one of the reasons I ran home from school every day.

I mostly remember one of his expressions when talking with the kids in the corral.  He would say, "You fell into the freckle barrel." 

My other memory is of his taking an eyelash from a child's face, and asking them to make a wish and then guess if the lash would be on the thumb or the finger.  If they guessed correctly, then they would get their wish. 

I really enjoyed his show.  And, if I remember rightly, one time his guest on the show was Clu Gulager...whom I think had a series of his own at the time, but I don't recall the name of his show. I miss those types of children's shows today.  They were FUN!
