A close up view of the 50s and 60s
comes to life through a combination of first-hand remembrances, photos and
research. We are taken on a trip for a glimpse back in time with a lively
narrative that tells the story of what it was like to live back then.
The book begins with a sweet journey back to the author’s childhood. It was a time when bikes were big and bulky. Ladies from the neighborhood stuck to a strict routine of Monday was wash day, Tuesday ironing day and so on and there was seldom deviation from this rule. Drive In movies and restaurants were the hot spot on a Saturday night. Busy housewives saved up their coveted green stamps from the grocery store and dreamed of what they could buy with them. For a child in the 50s and 60s, a trip to the Dime Store was like going to dreamland. Families sat around the counsel black and white television to watch their favorite TV family like Leave it to Beaver or Father Knows Best, and emulated them in their own life. Huge changes were taking place in the 50s and 60s; but most families lived a fairly simple life in comparison to today.
Come relive the memories of the 50s and 60s
