3 more signs we're getting older

Excuse me if I’m feeling especially old today.

Here’s a name for you: Larry Storch. If you grew up in the ’60s, that name should bring a smile to your face.

Don’t remember him? Here’s a hint: Cpl. Agarn. That’s right, “F Troop.” No, it didn’t win a lot of Emmys. But it was laugh out loud funny. They don’t make TV shows like that any more. I guess some people would argue that’s not entirely a bad thing.

Storch’s birthday is today. Here’s the tough part. He’s 86. Yes, boomers, we’re getting old.

Speaking of shows they don’t make any more, here’s another name guaranteed to bring a smile to your face if you ever sat in front of a black and white TV as a kid.

Soup Sales. Remember Blacktooth? White Fang?

The kids’ show star also is celebrating a birthday today. OK, if you must know, Soupy is turning 83. Ouch!

Here’s one more. David Bowie, the Thin White Duke, is turning 62 today. Of course, Bowie has a famous Delco connection.

Raise your hand if you were in the Tower Theater in Upper Darby the night they were recording Bowie’s live album there? Wasn’t everybody?
