I am old enough to remember the only "Real" Davy Crockett was Fess Parker, Annette and Darlene looked nothing like the girls in my school
.
"Camping " in the back yard, the only fear was what we created in our own imaginations.
When we entertained ourselves and didn't have to be entertained
to have fun
When a dispute was settled with fists rather than guns
When gas was 20 cents a gal, there "were" service stations, not gas stations, were the attendent would fill your car, check the
oil, wash the windshield and give you change back from a $5.
You could buy a six-pack of Coors for $.99, 2 tickets to the drive-in for $1.50,
When "cruising" on a weekend night was not against the law
When adults were shown respect---or else...
"Sputnik"
Air raid warnings--hide under your desk
Shots for measles, TB, ETC., while in grade school(Think this has stuck 'cuz they usually did it alphabetically--I was most always first and as much as I hated/feared shots I couldn't cry(I would have been subjected to unmerciful ribbing),--and if any of you remember these times you know it struck fear in your heart 'cuz you all were probably like me
