I'm Robert Gillis. My profession is computer geek / demigod (20+ years) but my love is writing. Since 1996, I've written a regular Op-Ed column for the Foxboro Reporter, and since 2006, for the Boston City Paper. You can read most of my published work at www.RobertXGillis.com. My first book, "Nana: My grandmother, Anne Gillis" is published commercially and is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and more. You can buy it now or get more information at www.NanaGillisBook.com. My professional photography is www.GillisPhotos.com. This is my nostalgia page, updated often, just things I remember from when I was a kid -- old fashioned "technology," games, toys, food... We baby boomers will remember them well; today's kids will just shake their heads that anyone could have survived in such a "simpler" time.
Each picture on this page is here because it makes me smile and remember simpler times.
Welcome. Browse. Enjoy.
