Never needed to lock the doors at home...
Church doors were open 24/7...
Used to hitch hike everywhere...Always got a ride...
Used to say the Lords prayer at school, led by the teachers...

Everybody turned out for the 4th of July and Veteran’s Parades...
Fights at school never involved weapons...
You did drugs when you were sick...
I could go on and on and on...
