I was born in 1948. Lived on a dairy farm the first 7 years of my life. Our house had no indoor plumbing. We did have electricity and a kerosene stove for heat. In the warm weather we took baths in a galvanized tub outside. The farm formed a triangle. One Aunt and Uncle at one point, another Aunt and Uncle at a point, and us at the bottom point with cow pastures in the middle. I guess we were poor, but I never realized it and it never bothered me. When I was 7, my parents built a new house around the corner where we had other kids to play with. We had a 13 inch screen tv and two tv stations to watch. My Father controlled what we watched. Friday nights I’d sit on the floor next to his chair and watch the fights on tv with him. I thought I had a great life in the 50’s
Funny how many of us grew up not bothered and seemingly unaware of race, ethnicity, religion or socio economic status etc. Now that's the entire focus of K-12.
