Well, I didn't read *all* 8 pages, but I also remember:

penny loafers
plaid skirts with white shirts and knee socks for parochial school
go-go boots
mini skirts
gloves and hat for church and everyone dressed up!
belt had to match shoes
white pants only between Memorial Day and Labor Day
pasta for Sunday dinner at 2:00
sleeping on huge pink hair rollers
bonnet hair dryers
Tang
portable 45 rpm record players
Midge (I still have her!)

ironing practically everything
the mailman walked
your neighbors were allowed to yell at you
people put cow patties on their lawn for fertilizer

parents sitting outside talking with the neighbors
neighborhood cook outs
carpools
one car per household

I love love love those memories, and I'm 53!
