January 21, 2024, at home
In the 1940s, maybe early 1950s, when my dad was a kid, he had a pet squirrel named Jake. Jake lived outside, but would come into his house in Lindenhurst, Long Island, New York, to visit. One day, Jake never came back.
My dad (1934-1997) told me that Jake would sit on his shoulder and watch television with him. I am now questioning whether that is temporally possible, unless his parents had an early version of a TV. Yeah, he must have been in his later teens because he graduated from high school in 1951 at age 17, and then attended the Wharton business school at the University of Pennsylvania.
