1966, Mankato, Minnesota, at the Ben Franklin dime store. It was a two-block bike ride down Black Eagle Drive, then over about 200 yards to the Tempo mall, which had a Tempo department store, the Ben Franklin-shared with Rexall Drug, Red Owl grocery store, a hardware store, Dan's Barber shop (still there), Fat's Liquors and a 24 Hour Martinizing place. As a Twins fan, I was thrilled to pull a Sandy Valdespino in my first pack.
