Well, we're not *that* old (well some of us aren't, huh Miss M?..heh heh), but I do remember a time when we feared Russia. A time when Russia caused Americans to attend civil defense training and have fallout shelters.
Pretty remarkable the relationship and chemistry between these two, isn't it?
I was thinking about that earlier today.... I remember about 1960 going to CD classes once a week at night. I wonder today why we thought those fallout shelters or home bomb shelters would really have worked. I guess we needed to think in terms of survival, but anyone within close proximity to a strike was ..... well forget the need for a shelter.
