I was born in 1962, so I honestly can't tell you, I do know my parents married in the 50's, but to be honest, anything before 66 is a real blank. Though, I will always remember Hurricane Camille.
Just woke up and it is a sunny morning here in the Kumamoto hinterland ...Would like to bump this thread now , and once I've had my cup of java & breakfast will chime in with some more comments ...Thanks all for your memories !
