Vee: I had to chuckle at your story, you see, I'm one of those "younguns" who was a little kid in 1957, in fact, I was only three years old, too little to whirl the hoola hoops! But when I got older, I sure knew how to whirl a hula hoop! Kim

But when I got older, I sure knew how to whirl a hula hoop! Well, Kim, now you know what sort of "drinking, dancing and carousing" was going on at the time with the over-20s crowd! But at the same time smoking or snorting drugs were totally unheard of. We were still of the Great Depression Era and on the whole were still pretty much the "innocents." We were trying to stretch our wings and some times our wings got clipped. Nonetheless we had understanding friends to fall back on. But I'll tell you this. We would have welcomed a little girl who could have taught us how to whirl a hoola hoop alongside the pool so that all of us could look cool! Who knows but what we could have taught you to dance the Cha Cha Cha to "Cherry Pink and Apple White??" Those were the days my friends. vee
