Considering it was Wally was that a normal reaction from Wally when Marlene gave him that passionate kiss?

Yep, probably Wally's first date with "that kind of girl."

June: "She might even be a divorcee."

Ward: "June, we've got to take you off that second section."

Marlene: I wanted your parents to like me, & I want you to like me too !

Wally Reaction - Golly !

Me - lets take a ride to Inspiration Point !

btw - the drinking age most everywhere was 21 - Wally wasn't even 18 ?

Oh yeah he had to be illegal. Ward, she was contributing to the delinquency of a minor!

(Yes, in his birthday episode toward the beginning of the season, he's 17.)

Actually no, quite a few states back then it was 18 and 19.

I can remember in the early 80s, Idaho was 19, because we went to a family reunion there and my sister went so she could go to the bar.

In Massachusetts they lowered it to 18 right around 1973. Quickly went back to 21.
