My Dad was born in 1910, Mom in 1911. The norm for transportation was the horse and buggy, or sleigh. There were very few cars. Dad got to see Guam courtesy of the US Navy. They also witnessed a man landing on the moon. Plus all the other stuff mentioned by others. IMHO, that was one wild life ride. Horse and buggy to man on the moon. The great generation.

Don't get me wrong I like reading books on some part of history, I like using old film cameras. I just pick up a shotgun that was made in 1924, another one I have was made in 1912. Both working fine, don't need one those so call "high tech" shotgun. Like old cars, pre 1975. But today cars are better made car. Have a car pushing 100,00 miles and I known if I take the time and care that car could very well make it to 200,000. No car back in the "Good Old Time" could to that. 50 years ago if I had a heart attack good chance I would be dead. Have had two in the last 15 years and still up and walking around. It nice to read about "Good Old Times" and have items from the past and be able to use them. But want to live the way people live in the "Good Old Days" no way.

I didn't say I wanted to live in the horse and buggy days. Using an outhouse was bad enough. I'm just saying that was one amazing span of technology in 59 years. Yes, we've seen a lot of advancement since 1969, but just not the same.

Yep, my dad was born in 1903, TR was in the White House, FDR of the New Deal was god to him, Cry when Kennedy was kill. Got drunk when Nixon step down. My mom born 1909. Daughter of a country doctor, she was liberal on social issues and could be at times very earthly when talking to people. Both love baseball. Had good times and bad times but the two of them pull off raise four kids and live to see their grand kids.

I to remember those years Being born in 35. YES we were poor in toughs days So was every one else. Use kids didn't know it. Our folks keep us fed by growing and canning every thing we could get our hands on. Yes we came out of the Depression and stronger for it.

Virgil Loc: The Hoosier State

Born in 1935. Remember it all and a couple more. Mailman came twice a day, morning and afternoon. Nobody locked their car or house. If anyone did lock their house and was locked out, someone in the
neighborhood had a "skeleton key" that fit all the houses on the block. In the winter we looked for ice on the sidewalks to run at and see who could slide the farthest. You stood outside your friends house and
called for him to come out - "Oh Johnnnnny". We saved pop bottles and took them back to the store for cash, 2 cents for small ones and 5 cents for the large ones. Women wore 'Bobby Socks' because nylons
were not available during the war. Would go to show for 12 cents and get four 5 cent White Castles and a nickel Coke for a quarter before we got there. As Mohammed Ali said, WE ARE THE GREATEST!!!
