- TV was in its infancy, just three networks;
- you rode your bike everywhere;
- you walked to school;
- Saturday mornings were special because of the cartoons;
- no DVR's so you actually anticipated the Charlie Brown Halloween and Christmas shows and Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer.
- someone delivered fresh milk to your house;
- gas station attendants;
- etc., etc.

We were also young enough to not understand the significance of the Vietnam war, the horrible racial injustice (Birmingham 1963), and the rest of the downside of the 60's.

As a child, we used to spend the summers at my grandparents' house in Indialantic FL. They lived one block off the beach. Can you imagine sending off a group of kids ranging in age from 5 (me) to 12 (my youngest aunt) with a bag of sandwiches and a thermos of Kool Ade by themselves to go to the beach? Did it all the time back then.

Sorry for the fillibuster.

I get into these types discussions with friends all the time. I was in the first class of my elementary (parochial) school that went from kindergarten to eighth grade. Almost all of us preferred elementary school to high school and college.

Like I mentioned above, plenty of horrible things happened in the 60's. I am just glad I was young enough to experience some the great things.

my parents have told me also about the days in which they were in High School, it was nothing to see people driving in the school parking lot with guns in the back of their trucks because they had just come in from off the water/woods from hunting.

now? .. not so much damnit.
