Guresses for new set:

62. farrier
63. Posession
64. Catholics - our family, although not Catholic, always had fish on Fridays because fish went on sale on Fridays.
65. Italy

67. mercury, I think, or at least that is the first thing that came into my head - Let's see, that is something I probably learned in 8th grade, which was 64 years ago, but then I also took chemistry in high school, so it could have been then.
68. postage stamp, think it has an upside down airplane on it
69. well, ossi is the root word for bone, and giraffes have these two stubby horns on their heads, which I think are bones, rather than keratin
70. 4

I might have gotten a bit smarter because of all the trivia we played on the 7-8 weeks we spent aboard cruise ships this spring and summer.
Guesses for new set:
91. ding-a-ling-a-ding, that's amore!
92. out
93. beluga
94. well, I think Nadia Comanici was 14, so 14.
95. well, I think root word ophid pertains to snakes, so fear of snakes
96. Munich, no real idea though
97. dunno
98. I remember that, and I found several sets of the viewing glasses. We were too far north of the path of the total solar eclipse to get the full effect, and the path was called something like that - path of the total solar eclipse
99. Maybe ibuprofen or tylenol, because it seems we had only aspirin when I was growing up - will go with tylenol, as I think it predated ibuprofen
100. I think it was the Scarecrow, as they pulled him apart, and may even have set fire to him.
