YES!!! I loved the fifties, the cars, drive-in movies, road trips on two lane highways through amazing local scenery, hanging out at the local swimming pool during summer, a slower pace of life. People were civil, better dressed and better spoken. Schools taught what we needed to know. People cooked and ate at home at the family dinner table.....aahhh the good old days!
Polio vaccines were developed. Penicillin became available. Interstate highways were being added to our road system.
Sputnik went up while I was in high school and led me to take a year of calculus and two years of Russian which had not been offered prior to that.
To my knowledge none of the kids in my high school smoked dope (yet).
