| Growing Up in the 40's and 50's |
| This is a short history of what it was like to grow up in the 1940's and 1950's. For my contemporaries, this will be a trip down memory lane. For those who are younger, it will be a glimpse into the near past, to a time when there were no televisions, no video games and, gasp! no computers. So let's get started with the earliest years and move on from there. |
