I ended up on the theme of
"I'm Old Enough to Say...."
- My first car had manual windows and manual locks.
- In second grade my teacher led our class in prayer before lunch every day.
- I saw Willy-B (the silver back gorilla at Zoo Atlanta) when he lived in small room with a tv.
- I remember Hickory Flat when it was a "town" of 2 stop signs.
- I watched Captain Kangaroo.
- I remember when GA400 didn't connect to I-85.
- I watched a tv that had to "warm up" before you could see the image on the screen.
- I watched shows on a black and white tv with an antenna.
- Some of my classmates in first grade got "paddled." And through 3rd grade my parents signed a paper stating whether they would allow school personal to "paddle" me for punishment.
- I remember when gas was $1.05 a gallon.
- Both of my grandfathers are veterans of WWII.
- I used an electric type writer.
- The assistant teacher in my kindergarten class had hair-do that resembled a bee-hive.
- I used a polaroid camera.
- I remember when you needed film negatives to order reprints of a picture.
I remember when gas was 89 cents a gallon! And I taught with a para-pro that actually had a beehive...not mine but she was on our grade level!
