"One summer I was working at Woolworth in Levittown, and the store was trying to get rid of hoola hoops, so I volunteered to sell them in front of the store," Carol Ackley remembers. "Needless to say, I saw everyone from Division Avenue High School that day, and I could not make the hoop spin. Frank Barning and Russ Green thought that was the funniest thing."
