I remember running around alone (no parent around) Halloween Night filling a shopping bag full of candy, and eating as much of it as I wished without having my parents check it.

I remember rotary dial telephones with telephone numbers like FL8-4533.

I remember when televisions were black and white only with rabbit ear antennas for reception.

I remember going to the movie theater every weekend, usually two features and a number of cartoon shorts; Pink Panther, Woody Woodpecker, . ..

I remember when computer programming involved a stack of key punch cards that had to be carried to the input desk. Hours later one could return to get the printed output.

I remember when gasoline was 55 cents per gallon when I bought my first automobile.

I remember the Cuban Missile Crisis, the first American manned space flight, and JFK's assassination.

I remember the first appearance of The Beatles on Ed Sullivan.
