- the beginning of the Space program when a launch was really special; you can't beat this! - TV was in its infancy, just three networks;
- you rode your bike everywhere; I still do that today!
- you walked to school;I did this as well
- Saturday mornings were special because of the cartoons; God how I miss a GOOD saturday morning cartoon
- no DVR's so you actually anticipated the Charlie Brown Halloween and Christmas shows and Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer.
- someone delivered fresh milk to your house; I wish
- gas station attendants;
- etc., etc.

We were also young enough to not understand the significance of the Vietnam war, the horrible racial injustice (Birmingham 1963), and the rest of the downside of the 60's.

As a child, we used to spend the summers at my grandparents' house in Indialantic FL. They lived one block off the beach. Can you imagine sending off a group of kids ranging in age from 5 (me) to 12 (my youngest aunt) with a bag of sandwiches and a thermos of Kool Ade by themselves to go to the beach? Did it all the time back then.

Sorry for the fillibuster.

I get into these types discussions with friends all the time. I was in the first class of my elementary (parochial) school that went from kindergarten to eighth grade. Almost all of us preferred elementary school to high school and college.

Like I mentioned above, plenty of horrible things happened in the 60's. I am just glad I was young enough to experience some the great things.
thats awesome man.. but even until I would say the late eighties it was mostly similar.. at least for myself and my group
