A Hollywood wedding day, a dream car, and one old commercial that still warms my heart.

Good evening, Jack Reynolds checking in. On January 29, I always think about that late 1950s moment when two movie stars slipped away and got married, simple as can be. It reminds me of my dad saying love shows best when it shows quiet. And wait until you see the old commercial set in a stadium tunnel, it still gets me. Brings it all back, doesn’t it?

On January 29, 1958, Paul Newman married Joanne Woodward, and I always liked how they kept it simple. My wife always smiled at that pair. They even made it to a 50th anniversary in 2008. Later, Newman’s Own sent more than $220 million to charity. Click to see how it all began.

Loew's Route 35 Drive-In opened in June 1956, and you can almost smell the popcorn and hot asphalt. It held about 1,400 cars on 60 acres, which felt like a whole town at night. After 35 years, the corner turned into a Costco. Click for the photos and what stands there now.

“Hey, kid, catch!” was a Coca-Cola line you never forgot. The ad debuted October 1, 1979, re-aired during Super Bowl XIV in 1980, and won a Clio that same year. My dad always said a small kindness travels far. Click to watch the full spot and feel that tunnel turn warm.

George Foreman was the hard-hitting heavyweight who scared everybody in the 1970s, then shocked the world by winning the title again at 45.

Tonight’s “Your Memory” comes from Harold in Nebraska, remembering the winter of 1961, when he walked to the five-and-dime with two quarters in his pocket. He bought a little balsa wood airplane kit and a paper sack of penny candy, then ran home to build it at the kitchen table. My dad always said small joys last the longest.
