However, I also remember air raid drills. Do you think crouching under our desks at school would really protect us? I also remember polio scares. I think there are a few things that have changed for the better, although the older life style was much more relaxed and enjoyable. Unless I just feel that way because I was a kid then.
Oh, ...I agree with you about some things changing for the better. I told my brother,...those times weren't all good but there was definitely something wholesome from that era that's just been lost....
