A mix of years there.

Shall we make it interesting? Ask a question related to an object from the period, and the first person who answers correctly gets to ask the next question. To make it fair, EVERYTHING has to be before 1962. (A lot changed in '63)

What was the name on your yellow pencil?

I'm not a boomer but my parents are. My mother always wore those Dr. Scholl's slip-on shoes, I remember the clip-clop sound of her walking around in them.
