Hi People have been sharing their memories of a couple decades ago. I just wanted to mention that you don't have to be grandparents to have memories to share. I lost all of my grandparents before I graduated from high school so I love the old tales. But the other ones are cool, also. If you grew up in the 50s, and were a girl, did you wear the poodle skirts? the capris and have your hair in a ponytail? a guy, did you dress like Fonzy in Happy Days? What music did you listen to? Chuck Berry? Elvis Presley? musicals like my mom?? What type of cars did you drive? did your friends have? Motorcycle? the 60s - did you listen to the Beatles? Doobie Brothers? the Doors? Did you go see them? What was the first concert you went to? Flower Child? Friends that were? Do a roadtrip with your best buddies? Drive in movies? and of course the cars :) The Vietnam War... the 70s - did you wear satin pants?? come on... did you?? listen to disco? or maybe punk? or Fleetwood Mac? Pink Floyd? the Who? Bread? Abba? the Carpenters like my cousin? the Beach Boys? Studio 54? or a club like it? these are things that make history come alive for us when we find it in the distant past, but we have the recent past that we have experienced... so share, if you feel you can or want to. sometimes the little ones forget to ask (I had no idea I wasn't going to have them around and was too young to know what to ask). Nothing is certain, so share... My uncle was a POW for all of the Korean War, I thought I would ask him what it was like one Thanksgiving, ...I got a 30minute lecture on how he had to eat his poo and drink his __, so needless to say I never asked again. There IS a thing as TMI (too much information). I was in high school at the time and realize there are things that cause too much hurt, but if you feel like sharing... there is almost always a willing ear to hear it, and if you don't, it's all good we love you.
