These floor and tabletop fans will bring back those summertime memories for you too. I was 9 years old before I got my very own fan in my room. And I have one of these beautiful oscilling fans in the dormer window by our bed to this day, when I'm of an age to appreciate more than most an extra bit of air moving around me when I sleep; it lets me keep the air conditioner at a level where DH can be indoors in the summertime without a sweater.
