Nineteen-Fifty-Two

I wish things were the same now, as then, I wish I was there, Instead of here. In Nineteen-Fifty-Two, things were simple, and so care free, you always had somethng to do. You could see a movie, or buy a comic or pop for the price of a dime, everyone's favorite saying was groovie. Drugs were no problem at all, crime also was very down, young Willie Mays was even playing ball. Children had respect even for their parents, three-D was really in, and everyone had good merit's. In Nineteen-Fifty-Two, Ike was elected President, and I wasn't felling so blue. I know the past is gone you can't go back, time really goes on way to fast. I wished then I could've made a forecast, Nineteen-Fifty-Two only a memory looking back, life has been good at last. wrote 6-14-90

I was six. My mom had a wringer washer (Maytag) and we had just moved to Tamaqua. Great year. Remember the Buick came out with holes in the hood, Ramar of the Jungle. We finally got a TV in 52. Howdy Doody on TV and the 3 stooges before the Movie in the theatre. Great years. Vince
