blackbiped, were you buying Good Old Days magazine too? It may have seemed an odd choice of reading material for an adolescent, but I was fascinated nonetheless by the first person memoirs by the magazine's contributors, which at the time I was reading it in the 1970s were mostly about life in the 1900s and 1910s. A couple of years ago I came across a more recent issue in a barber shop, and noticed that the good old days were now centered in the 1940s and 1950s.
