What is an interesting factoid about yourself? I was on the very last Garfield Goose and Friends Show Hobby Corner. It was where you show your hobbies to the world. I was in third grade, so it was in 1975. My hobby was collecting fire engines. They were in a box in the attic, and they got burned up in a fire. My house in Mount Prospect burned down, and my fire trucks did not put out the fire.
