I met my grandpa's great grandmother in 1961, barely remember it, she was 90 at the time, her folks went through the Civil War. But yeah, the fifties and sixties were great.
Holy shit, I can't imagine meeting people like that. I only know my two grandmothers, and I was born in 1981. You are blessed.
Yeah we watched live Ruby killing Oswald, crazy times, then came all the cultural changes, for the worse. I know Oswald's girlfriend, they worked together in New Orleans in '62. I talk to her on facebook and met her in Dallas, Oliver Stone was interviewing her while I watched.
One of the things that facebook is good for, I can talk to all these historical people but some die every single year.
I'm rambling. I long for the old days but I sure love the internet and the knowledge it gives.
