Jeff, I'm a year behind you-a June '57 model-and I'm ASTOUNDED that 1960 is 50 FREAKIN' YEARS AGO....I remember 1960...Outside all the time unless it was cold and/or rainy...Daddy cookin' steaks, hamburgers, hotdogs on the outside grill...Me puttin' sticks in the grill, pullin' 'em out & watchin' 'em burn...Playing w/Ikey, the neighbor's dog, & Pudgie, our Pug...Goin' for rides in Mama's '58 Bel Air...My mom, & 3 out of 4 granparents still alive...The Zenith 24" B/W that when you turned it off still had that little white dot that took about 30 seconds to go away...The warm, homey smell TVs & record players gave off then...The TV & radio talkin' about some mean, hateful dude named Caster or Castro, & some place called The Congo..or was that a dance ? To the Young Adults of today, that's all ancient History...Mama wearin' Pedal Pushers 'n' sleeveless tops, tryin' to stay cool in the summer...She was killing herself, smokin' 2-3 packs a day...
