You are all so YOUNG. I still remember...
<bunch of words>
This thread is about pictures.
Please provide pictures.
Sorry. I am old and still haven't figured out how to post photos on MFP. My pictures are still in my memory; but I think most old folks would agree that they can still see those 'images of the past' without photos.
Please be patience with this old lady. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
Joking aside I enjoyed your list as well.
A great many things have changed since I was a child. It's kind of humbling when you stop to reflect upon it.0 -

Yes. I have been getting private messages from MFP folks that didn't understand about phone numbers that started with a word. I am not surprised that most people don't remember the time, when we had party lines on the phone, you spoke to a local operator, when we picked up the phone. There was no dial tone back then. The operator sat at a board full of holes and physically 'plugged you in' to someone else's phone number. There were no area codes, cell phones and personal computers of any kind.
I remember watching Disneyland (the TV show not the amusement park). Walt Disney showed us 'things' that might happen in the future, like phone screens as big a TV set...so you could see who was on the other end of the phone line. He talked about rocket ships, space stations and men on the moon. Then, we kids grew up and got to see all those incredible things and more happen right before our eyes.
I had the pleasure of meeting President Eisenhower, when I was a still a child. I still remember sitting in a classroom, listening to the radio, as the first American astronaut was launched into space. I held my breath as the first man stepped onto the moon surface, proud that he was an American and not a Russian. We were so worried that they would get there first. Those special good memories are a treasure.
However, there are other memories that are moments of sadness in my past. I waited with the rest of America, when President Jack Kennedy was shot in Dallas; and I cried, when I heard that he had died. I cried again for Bobbie and for Dr. King. I have memories of Vietnam and some great young men who died there. Some of the young folks on MFP will remember the day that the twin towers fell. They may carry the memories of a newer war.
My 68 year old brain is store house of memories, many of which are only important to me. You are a young father. You are storing up memories of and for your little girls. That's how it should be.0 -
