What was it Like in....

Most of the girls in that photo were probably wearing dresses that their moms had made for them. I remember my mom laying out patterns and cutting cloth and then sewing my sister's clothes. Then she would swap patterns with the other moms.

I remember paying fifty cents for a haircut. Today I pay $20. About 20 years ago, my wife's grandfather was visiting us and he was talking about having to pay $5 for a haircut. He told us that when he was a boy the town barber had a pet monkey and for five cents he could get his hair cut and play with the monkey. He said "Today I have to pay $5 and they don't even have a monkey!"

When I was a kid in elementary school, we said the Pledge Of Allegiance every morning.

We said prayers in public school as well. I'm not being political here, there's nothing wrong with prayers. Nothing wrong with being proud of your country either.

Plus we recited the Lord's prayer and someone read a vew verses of scripture over the intercom.

Could you imagine the outcry, the investigations, the lawsuits, and calls for people to be fired if that were to happen in public schools today?

Don't forget, you went to school up hill both ways and killed a grizzly bear with your note book.
