Eating out with your parents and siblings was a treat on a special occasion

you'd borrow dad's car on a Sunday, pull into a gas station, everyone chipped in and you'd ask for $2 worth of gasoline and drive around all day with your buddies

Drive in car hops....drive in movie theaters...A& W Root Beer...double dating

most of us had part time jobs to earn some cash to take our girlfriends out and when it snowed and school was cancelled if you didn't have a paper route, we all literally cleaned up shoveling out driveways and walkways in the neighborhood

no drugs, great music...fabulous high school proms....those were the days

we respected out teachers (even the jerks)
