Thank you for the stroll down memory lane. The sixties were the last "happy times" I remember of my family. After fighting over the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement, my parents were divorced by the mid-seventies, I was sent away from what little home was left, and the direction of my life changed forever.
I don't know that I wish to return to that time, except for the happiness and security I knew as a child then.

I still like the music but would never go back to the 60's. I remember too vividly the VietNam War. My brother and husband were there and I will never forget taking them to the airport and our mothers's faces when the plane took off. I remember the news on the TV each night and the weekly get-togethers with my Mother to bake cookies and send the care packages to my brother who was out in the field. No, I live in today and take the lumps where they fall. I am very grateful for what I have now.

I would not want to go back to the 60's for anything! Three assassinations (J. Kennedy, M.L. King, R. Kennedy), Vietnam War (thousands of young men killed), Civil Rights Protests, etc. No way would I want to go back. However, our society did seem to accomplish some better policies: no draft and a bit more equality.

I graduated in the 50's and remember a lot of good things. One of the advancements I could do without is anything that can't just be turned ON or OFF - The new technology isn't for me. AND the TV stations I have no intention of ever remembering their names and the funny part I dont think the younger ones will either/hardly. -- J

Thanks for the post! I was "molded" during the fifties and sixties and I am certainly proud of it! Great memories, wish my children/grandchildren had had the opportunity to grow in times like those. I feel very bad for them today!
