my fil who is well into his upper 80's said that after WW2 if a guy met a girl he really liked he'd have to move on it really quick, because someone else was always waiting in the wings...thus, if the guy didn't propose marriage pretty quick, the girl was gone on to the next guy.....

imagine after WW2 the GI's home,millions getting married, buying houses, starting civilian jobs, popping out children left and right...

those young people had so much to look forward to in this once great country....

.the positive outlook on life that is so missing today....

That outlook is reflected in this song:

Rainbow at Midnight--Texas Jim Robertson (1947)

We’ve fallen so far from those days. Although a few short years ago it seems like a hundred years ago.
