I wonder what the goggle kid's experience at school is like?

He strikes me as someone who doesn't have any friends or wants someone to talk to, as a kid and as an adult I can relate very well to him.

Seems smart to me.

I do seriously wonder sometimes if the kid with googles was on the autism spectrum.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was, he seems like a nice kid who never means any harm.

Autism didn't exist at the time. He would have ridden the short bus, but I'm not sure they existed yet either.

He graduated to binoculars and spent his teen years spying on girls until he fell out of a tree and almost got hit by a car were it not for his friend and future son Marty who took the hit for him.

It’s goggles, not Googles 😄 it took me a minutes to figure out how a kid in the 40’s was able to Google anything 😄
