I remember my mom getting dressed up to go see Nixon give a speech at the local high school. My dad wouldn't go see the "commie bastard."
I remember getting a Jolly Green Giant kite by sending in canned food labels.
I remember seeing the first moon landing.
I remember our first color TV set.
I remember Mickey Dee's hamburgers costing .19. Friday nights my parent would go to the movies and drop my broither and I off at the MD's across from the Boy's Club (no girls back then.) They'd give us each a dollar and we get a burger, fries and coke and still have enough for a candy bar later.
