One of the best reason I can think of growing up in the late 50's and 60's is having parents from the depression era. Looking back I learned so much from my parents because of what they went through in those very tough years of the 20's and 30's. I beleive parents these day teach in many different ways then parents that were born in the 20's.

I thank you for the reminisce of the late 50's , 60's! After 1970(married) and working in Lansing, Mich. at Oldsmobile, family raising.
In 1977 moved back to my hometown and drove 150 miles round trip. I loved living back up north.
We(wife) and I raised our kids mostly in the country. Saw lots of game and lived like when I was young.
Vietnam--1967 46th. Const./Combat Engineers

NBC, CBS, and ABC plus 3 fuzzy UHF channels were all there was on TV. If you wanted to know how to butcher something, how to cook something, or how to make something it required a trip to the local library. We went out to McDonald's once or twice a year and it was a BIG deal.
Dad had an old Ford pickup that had a shifter on the column. That broke so Dad installed a shifter on the floor instead. Then that broke so we had a hole in the floor where the shifter used to be. He kept a tire iron on the seat. You would reach down through the hole in the floor with the tire iron and flip the levers on top of the transmission to shift. That's how I learned to drive.
