Just thought I'd take the time to say hi and post a small message to
the group. What appeals to me most about the Ma & Pa Kettle series of
films is that Ma & Pa Kettle remind me of my dear aunt & uncle.
They're both deceased now, however I still have many happy childhood
memories of them.
Like Ma & Pa Kettle, my aunt & uncle had a lot of children (8 cousins
of mine total). When my 2 sisters, my brother & I went with my parents
to visit them in Kansas, they had a full house. However I believe that
my aunt & uncle really loved children because they always seemed
happiest when they had a full house with all us of us kids around.
Like Ma Kettle, my aunt was loud & outspoken. On the other hand, my
uncle like Pa Kettle was tall, skinny & quiet in nature. Like the
Kettles they were both genuinely kind,loving and generous people.
During the time back in the 1970s and early 1980s when CB radios
became popular, their CB handles were Ma & Pa Kettle.
