My grandkids ask,"When you were a kid, what did you do without cell phones, IPODS, text messaging and even TV?" As you read my story, you will enter into an equally challenging age where excitement came from nightly games of "Kick the Can," holding carnivals in the back yard, finding stolen band instruments and sewing one's own clothes. Although we were spared school shootings and terrorists attacks, we lived through a World War, and constant threats of nuclear attack. We lived frugally without the abundance one experiences today, yet we were surrounded with a richness of life perhaps unequalled in this time. Go back in time to discover the world that shaped this grandmother and others much like me.
