....we never had enough money for me to have a poodle skirt.

....but my friend lent me hers to go to a sock hop.

I was born in the early fifties. Me and my friends used to roller skate all over the neighborhood. Even with the tightening keys, the skates would always fall off. One day our friend Hobie took one of his skates apart and nailed the two halves to a 2 x 4. And that's the way it was 14 August 1957.
