Hi dad! He was born in 1919. Mom and dad remember those things. I was born in the 1950s. Ain't that a shame.

And you're right. I started school in Sept, 1954.

In God We Trust went on coins and paper money about the same time.

Vick's vapor rub put on my chest when little, to combat flu at night...

OK, time for a quick laugh.
In the 50's when my kids had a head cold with running nose etc (you get the picture).

At bedtime I would wrap a Smelly sock around their nec and in the morning NO red nose.

As an adult it also worked for me also...

Anyone ever try it?
