Yes, older than dirt and greatful for it. Can't beat those memories! Didn't have running water (unless you ran after it) until I was in 3rd grade and then no indoor plumbing. One room school house (all grades in one room with one teacher) with teachers that had 6 month certificates and after teaching 6 months they went back to school and we got new ones. Some were so young that the 8th grade boys were older than the teacher. And getting to school in a horse drawn sled in winter. Listening to the Bell Telephone Hour with Gordon McRae and The Arthur Godfrey Show, etc. on the radio. Wouldn't want to go back but the memories are priceless.
