I wish I could go back in time. I was 7 in 1950, and 17 in 1960.

We were happy then.

I don’t remember tv remotes ever being called “Flashmatic Tuning” but there it is, in living black and white!

I was a wee one. There is a family film (now DVD) of me holding an American Flag on Michigan Avenue standing in front of an Eisenhower sign.

Drive in movies. I will hold those memories dear for the rest of my life. Something todays youth truly have missed out on.

Back in the fifties, we had conservative Democrats like Sens. Pat McCarran (D-Nev.) and Frank Lausche (D-Ohio)—a species now as extinct as the brontosaurus.

That is so true and so very sad. But the Rat Pack was fun.

Did you have a 6 transistor or a 10 transistor radio?

I asked my 22 year old son if he knew what the three little round plastic things were for. He thought maybe they were IUDs.
