I wouldn't trade the 50's for anything either. I do remember the year the Minnesota State Fair closed down - I think it was in 1949 - because of Polio. I had it that year. Not bad, but I was one of them. I remember a popular song was "I'm a Lonely Little Petunia in an Onion Patch - Oh won't you come and play with me" and nobody could. But I still wouldn't change anything. If one little teeny thing had changed, (think about this), we'd never know our husbands/wives, our children, our friends and all of you! Edie
