[QUOTE="oldmachguy, post: 14331655, member: 48367"] [b]Great Thread[/b] 1961 - Lake Jackson, Texas (Dow Chemical plant town) Played in the woods all day with my friends. Mom never worried if she didn't see or hear us. She would just call around and find out who was with who, then she knew where we were. And agree with the poster who said you didn't want to cross Dad. (Worst feeling in the world was when Mom said, "Wait until your father gets home.") Sometimes during summer, when it rained real hard, the ditches would fill up and we would play Army, jumping in and out of the ditches to take cover - like we'd seen in the war movies. Had a black and white tv, with bunny ears. ABC, NBC, and CBS. No UHF channels until late '60's, early '70's. I used to get up early just to see the daily network sign on, with fighter jets, the flag, and national anthem playing. And back then PBS was a lot of nothing, except for Jack LaLanne (and his white GSD). Lassie The Rifleman Andy Griffith / Maybury RFD Mr. Ed Time Tunnel Star Trek (yeah, the original) Rowan & Martin's Laugh In One night at summer camp in July of '69, they marched us all up the hill to the camp owner's house. They had set his B&W tv out on the back patio so we could watch Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. POW/MIA bracelets. Personal computers didn't come along until I was in college. I still think of an ATM card as something "new." Much simpler time. [/QUOTE]
