I'm so old I remember when the news was reported, not made up.

I'm so old I remember when the government stayed pretty much out of your life.

I'm so old I remember when people worked for a living and didn't rely on government handouts.

I'm so old I remember when there was prayer in school.

I'm so old I remember when a dollar bought something, something made in America.

Lot of things happened those years I mentioned.

What I was looking for (expecting to find) was a answer from someone who actually lived the time period as I did.

No one so far that has not looked up things in books or the Internet.

I've been to the Hindenburg site. That hangar is reeeeeally big.

My mother was English and moved to the states in 1946. She had a few stories to tell.
