I really enjoyed grabbing the rings; it was challenging, but I would often get them all. Mike called me "Hippie" and would sort-of flirt with me; I played dumb.<br /><br />I particularly liked Coney in the off-season; that was when you would get to see the "real" Coney Island.

I was too small to reach the brass ring, so my Dad would make a circle of thumb and forefinger, and I would pretend to "grab" it as I went by. Dad passed away in July of 2008; what a wonderful memory for me to reclaim!
