How did we ever grow up, children were born in their mothers bedroom. We drank raw milk, with thick cream on the top. There was lead paint on EVERYTHING, asbestos insulation on every school building, no seat belts, no bicycle helmets, no child labor laws, no clean air laws, no safety caps on pill bottles or ant poison. Actually, we were free people, free to think and learn for ourselves. The hazards of the period were measles, mumps, dyptheria, polio. There was ONE doctor in my town, and he was kept busy delivering babies and removing kids' tonsils. There was ONE lawyer and I guess most of his business was divorces of the wealthy. Malpractice had not been invented and insurance companies sold LIFE insurance. Yep, it was a whole different world those days.Then came December 7th 1941, Pearl Harbor, and the world was forever changed. WWII that followed was vicious, merciless slaughter of somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 million people.
