That was when neighbors knew neighbors and it was all really extended family. We were so responsible, independent and everything we did prepared us for real life...I had a crappy home life but I had a fantastic community, church, neighborhood, school, etc that allowed me to really enjoy my childhood...I grew up in the 50's and graduated HS in '69 and I could not have imagined a better life...so much has changed...it takes a lot of effort to maintain any normalcy for our kids and grandkids...
