Not quite. I was born in 1938. I was the youngest of 4 daughters and I had a brother 7 years younger. My Dad worked for the Federal Govt. We traveled a lot and he travered even more. Ike really changed things for us in the South and hopefully all over the US. I grew up mostly in Atlanta. I remember when the best route to Jacksonville was through the little towns. I went to Los Angeles to live in 56. we didn't go on 10 cause there wasn't one. It was a long arduous trip and hot as blue blazes.
