Pixie hair dos were a 1957 style, but it may have hung around, where you were. :-)

Wasn't the original hit song "A Summer Place" done by Percy Faith Orchestra?

That's okay.....I lived through it all and have a good memory. And no matter what some people say, I lived through the 1950s and remember it ALL! LOL

But I loved what you wrote about whining about shaving your legs, it rang so true; though I was whinging about it in the '50s. :-)

I also remember when you could burn leaves in your yard.

Wasn't alive during the sixties, but have studied it intensively during history courses...

A few things that (IMHO) are important when studying the 60's...

-Vatican II
-Cuban Missile Crisis
-Assassination of JFK
-Gulf of Tonkin Incident/Escalation in Vietnam
-Humanae Vitae (On Human Life; encyclical by Pope Paul VI)
-Tet Offensive, effect on American public
-Apollo 11 landing on the Moon.
-Woodstock
