We were about 50 miles from the city, doing the drills at least twice a month. I remember hearing one of my teachers say to another, "Aren't you going to get down?" The other one said, "No, because when it happens there won't be anything left anyway, no food, no water, a few horribly mangled survivors, and I don't want to be one of them."
I was terrified for years afterwards. LOL! Talk about scary stories, no wonder so many "Boomers" are basket cases.
And no more Saturday morning cartoons.
No wonder you had the bejesus scared out of you!
