I just loved watching them spin around ever since I was around 2 years old. Various friends and relatives had them at their houses, and of course we went to many stores and restaurants that had them. Just before I turned 4, my parents installed Hampton Bay Littletons in each of our bedrooms, which of course made me very happy. Before that, our house didn't have any ceiling fans.

I am not fully sure wha I know is this, before our house was built in the old house there was some brass 52 ich 4 blade fan with 5 light kit and stencil and supposed i was looking at that alot... our old chuch had cool fans as well, 2 slimlines, 2 blenderfans and a Charleston, all thouse chuch fans ended up in my collection by the way that church now has hunter fans.

it all started when i was a kid.. the fan that started my love of fans in very early 90s is the 1989 relites that were in my parents house in my grandpa's farm (the same place where i go and install fans for showcase).. i dont really know what made me love them as a kid, but i would always stare at them spinning whenever they r operated
i can recall in my childhood memories the union shaped SMC fan with a slightly dropped canopy and all wires exposed, which used to freak me out thinking it will fall, and i would avoid entering the kitchen at all cost.. i remember once someone took me there and forced me to sit on the table and i was scared to death coz of the fan! that was in early 90s probably 92 or 93
in my late great grandma's house there were union shaped fans in the outside kitchen, i dont remember whether they were union or SMC.. but i remember their canopies werent yellowed and i used to like them
in 1995, my grandpa moved and lived in the same compound with us and my uncle, their house had 3 1995 National ceiling fans, 2 56" and 1 48".. the 48" one was in the center of a dome ceiling and had a slightly short downrod as i remember, it spinned really fast and the fan's sound was very loud due to the dome echo
my kindergarten and primary school had 1975 relites which used to freak me for not having both canopies and badly yellowed blades.. i used to see the fan's capacitor and think it was a battery used to operate the fan.. then later years i used to come up with a theory that those arent batteries, but tiny motors that operate the ceiling fans, assuming that the motor was just some spinning disk geared to the "motor".. in my 6th grade in 2002, my classroom was set to one of the classrooms with 1975 relite, but at that year they replaced all the relites with CMC.. i remember being so upset about that and hated CMC because of that, considering it a super cheap clone of SMC
