I was a child of the 50s. My 2 fondest memoriesL:
1)Riding my new Schwinn bike (3-speed - WOW!) down to the little store (called The Little Market) to get a popsickle.......banana flavored, of course!
2) Going fishing with my family and friends. On a lake with no running water or bathrooms. Waking up to Bob, the friend, frying bacon and pancakes over an open fire! YUUUUM! The BEST bacon and pancakes ever made!
