I was sure I had one somewhere in a bunch of photos my father gave me - here's the surviving photo of that much-storied coppertone Viking dishwasher that was not only our family's first dishwasher, but was also my first 'vintage' dishwasher! Oh, what memories... I think growing up with this marked me for life - I still prefer top-loaders and I still don't think impeller-wash dishwashers do such a horrible job... LOL
I think this photo was taken in summer of 1988 and the fella being eaten by the ewil Wiking is my friend Jean, who I have known since we were like 11 and are still close friends today. Enjoy! |

We posted simultaneously, and he missed turn-around. Anxious that he wouldn't see it.
Wondering if you turned Jean into a washer man, at least a little bit. He looks pretty happy. Ah, Youth !!!!
"Still prefer top loaders." Me, too! Top Load Dishwashers are so compelling. Have had mine for about five months, using it almost every day, instead of every 5 or 6,
and can't imagine going back. The only concern is the finite supply, unless some enlightened company decides to bring them back. |
