[QUOTE="Star*, post: 444701, member: 4964"] I'm so enjoying reading this thread - not about the fears but just that I'm not alone. Or wasn't crazy afterall. Or I'm NOT crazy afterall. I remember almost ALL of these things (not living the Catholic things) but hearing about them from family members. I also remember dress line ups. The girls were called out in the hall (I think 1971, 1972 ) and we were told to stand with our hands at our sides to that the principal could check to see that our dress hems reached the middle fingers on our hands with our arms at our sides. I remember our teacher telling us a day ahead too. When I'd tell my Mom (because you outgrow things so quickly) Mom would say "Hunch up your shoulders but not too much so you don't get sent home." I think that was the first time I realized money was tight in our house. lol. We had bomb raid drills, tornado drills.....men walking on the moon, people coming back from Vietnam....and I can just barely remember the Kent State massacares. I think about those things and much more and realize - we really did not turn out to be a bad generation after all. [/QUOTE]
