The Duncan Yo-Yo guy


When April with its sweet showers brought flowers to the lawns of May and birds filled the air with melodies, Dan-Dan the Yo-Yo Man made his annual pilgrimage to our playground at St. Mary's School.

[From Roger Ebert's Journal: Archives]

I don't know when this stopped happening but when I was in school the Yo-Yo man was the surest sign of spring. At the high school, we even had an assembly every spring at which the Yo-Yo guy was the chief attraction (we were easily amused even then).

I blew a month's allowance on a Duncan Imperial. I was in the fifth grade, and it seemed like a great deal. It was!
