I remember fondly as a little girl going to my Aunt Nonnies home where she'd give me a candy bar and let me sit quietly and watch her make flies! She was very, very old and frail, some 80 years old but she tied those flies so quickly and skillfully. She told me stories of how she worked at the 'ladies only' fly factory where 'old maids' (she never married), like herself would work hard but that they all had life long friendships.

...I still remember hearing the Point jingle on the radio when I was at the college in the 1970s and still find myself humming it from time to time. Very catchy.
