“I had measles in 1961.”

Back in the ‘50s and ‘60s, I didn’t know anyone who didn’t get measles. I vaguely remember Mom putting me in bed in a dark room for a few days when I had it.

Same experience here. Remember also that our folks kept brothers and sisters home to catch the disease also so that it didn’t get passed amongst all and prolong the problem.
