What a great time it was for all of us who were lucky enough
to live in that magic time. And if you were in high school
then it was pure fun! Bobby socks, pony tails, penny loafers,
Rock N Roll, duck tails, sideburns, Rock N Roll, American
Bandstand, Rock N Roll, and a zillion other things come
to mind.
But the things that stand out most in my mind are the music,
the dancing, the cars, but above all was the music!
e diners, blue plate specials, nickel cokes, cheeseburgers
for a quarter, luscious milk shakes and real french fries!
Wow! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. Hula-Hoops
swept the nation in a craze. We all tried it and laughed to see
our Moms and Dads out hula us all.
We all had a collection of 45 records, and a turntable.
The records were about a dollar!
You didn't find a drive in restaurant on every corner but
there were a few back then, such as A&W.....How about a root
beer float? And, those sizes........papa beer, mama beer,
and don't forget baby beer!
A bottle of Pepsi was a nickel,coca cola was called Coke those cute little bottles. Really cool cars you were a boy, had sideburns, and one of these
you were really COOL!
Carhops to serve you, some on roller skates...They had
to be good!
Double Bubble bubble gum, with little tiny paper cartoons
folded up inside each little package of gum. Try reading one
of those today without glasses!
Remember the gas wars? We would check out the prices before
we bought our gas and it was pretty easy to do because all the
gas stations were so close together. I can remember it being
about 24 cents a gallon! "Give me a dollar's worth" was our
favorite answer to "How much"! It seemed like you could ride
all night on that dollar. And, for that buck, the attendants
pumped it for you, cleaned the windshield, and checked your
oil and tires!
One of the few places that had air conditioning was the
Woolworth store. What a neat 10 cent store that was! In the
summer, you would spend a lot of time in the store because
when you got home you had to cool off with fans.
And, the shakes! I still love those shakes but back then it
seemed like you could eat and drink all you wanted and never
gain an ounce!
I remember getting our first TV in '55 and it seemed we were
all mesmerized.
Mom could watch soap operas, and after school we could see
American Bandstand and learn about all the newest dances,
although I never was much of a dancer.
And, who could forget "Hey, kids! What time is it?" "It's Howdy
Doody time!" with Clarabell, and Buffalo Bob.
There are other things I remember such as: coke was something
you drank; grass was something I had to cut when I got home
from school; crack was in the sidewalk; and there are many other
things that have taken on a new meaning in this day and time. I
remember pleasant things mostly such as: paying attention to my hair
'cause I wanted to be cool;
feeding nickels, yes nickels, into the jukebox:
and more nickels into the pinball machine, thinking I was
going to get rich!
the picture show downtown: (for you youngsters that means
movie, cinema, flick, etc.)
This picture is the "downtown picture show" from my hometown
The Drive In Movie on Saturday night:
And, after the movie and after we had cruised around for
awhile, or maybe "parked" for a little while, if I had enough
money left, we would stop off at the local Drive In
Restaurant:
I even worked here for a time. I have no idea when this was
taken but that sure looks like my '54 Chev parked in front.)
I remember that some of the happiest times of my life was the
time I spent playing in the high school band, performing at
concerts, football games, basketball games, and the band trips
that were taken.
This is the Lawrence County High School Band; that's me
on the left end of the front row.)
This is a picture of some of our Majorettes.)
(This is the dance band I played in; me on the drums.)
Ah, yes; the band trips were what we all looked forward to,
and, the many friends that I had, too many of whom I
haven't seen for some time.
And, the music keeps coming back to mind, such as Rockin' Robin:
At the Hop: Little Nash Rambler: Puppy Love:
Rock Around The Clock:And on, and on, and on..Those days may be gone but the memories linger on and onThanks for reminiscing with me; I hope I brought back some
memories for some of you.

There's a man standing on the corner
With a sign sayin "will work for food"
You know the man
You see him every morning
The one you never give your money to
You can sit there with your window rolled up
Wondering when the lights going to turn green
Never knowing what a couple more bucks
In his pocket might mean
And he's making certain that you're doing your best
To take the time to help one another
Brother are you going to pass that test
You can go on with your day to day
Trying to forget what you saw in his face
Knowing deep down it could have
been his saving grace
What if he's an angel
There's a woman
Living right above you in apartment G
There's alot of noise coming from the ceiling
And it don't sound like harmony
You can sit there with your TV turned up
While the words and his anger fly
Come tomorrow when you see her with her shades on
Can you look her in the eye
And she's making certain that you're doing your best
To take the time to help one another
Brother are you going to pass that test
You can go on with your day to day
Trying to forget what you saw in her face
Knowing deep down it could have
been her saving grace
What if she's an angel
Hiding her disease with a baseball cap
You can turn the channel
Most people do
But what if you were sitting in her daddy's shoes
Sent here from Heaven
And she's making certain you're doing your best
To take the time to help one another
Brother are you going to pass that test
You can go on with your day to day
Trying to forget what you saw in her face
Knowing deep down it could have been her saving grace
What if she's an angel ???

Treat Me Nice
When I walk through that door
Baby be polite
You're gonna make me sore
If you don't greet me right
Don't you ever kiss me once, kiss me twice
Treat me nice
I know that you've been told
It's not fair to tease
So if you come on cold
I'm really gonna freeze
If you don't want me to be cold as ice
Treat me nice
Make me feel at home
If you really care
Scratch my back and run your pretty
Fingers through my hair
You know I'll be your slave
If you ask me to
But if you don't behave
I'll walk right out on you
If you want my love then take my advice
Treat me nice
Make me feel at home
If you really care
Scratch my back and run your pretty
Fingers through my hair
You know I'll be your slave
If you ask me to
But if you don't behave
I'll walk right out on you
If you want my love then take my advice
Treat me nice
If you really want my love then treat me nice

scientists found traces of a copper-wire system dating back
100 years, and they came to the conclusion that their
ancestors already had a telephone network more than
100 years ago.
California scientists dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after,
headlines in the LA Times newspaper stated, "California
archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old
copper-wire system and have concluded that their ancestors
already had an advanced high-tech communications network
a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers."
reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 feet in a
corn field, Bubba Ray Johnson, a self-taught archaeologist,
reported that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has
therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Kentucky had
already gone wireless."

A minister passing through his church
in the middle of the day,
Decided to pause by the altar
and see who had come to pray.
Just then the back door opened,
a man came down the aisle,
The minister frowned as he saw
the man hadn't shaved in a while.
His shirt was kinda shabby
and his coat was worn and frayed,
the man knelt, he bowed his head,
Then rose and walked away.
In the days that followed,
each noon time came this chap,
each time he knelt just for a moment,
A lunch pail in his lap.
Well, the minister's suspicions grew,
with robbery a main fear,
He decided to stop the man and ask him,
'What are you doing here?'
The old man said, he worked down the road..
Lunch was half an hour.
Lunchtime was his prayer time,
For finding strength and power.
'I stay only moments, see,
because the factory is so far away;
as I kneel here talking to the Lord,
This is kinda what I say:
'I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD,
HOW HAPPY I'VE BEEN, SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHERS FRIENDSHIP AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN. DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY, BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.
SO, JESUS, THIS IS JIM CHECKING IN TODAY.'
The minister feeling foolish,
told Jim, that was fine..
He told the man he was welcome
To come and pray just anytime
Time to go, Jim smiled, said 'Thanks.'
He hurried to the door.
The minister knelt at the altar,
he'd never done it before.
His cold heart melted, warmed with love,
and met with Jesus there.
As the tears flowed, in his heart,
he repeated old Jim's prayer:
'I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, LORD,
HOW HAPPY I'VE BEEN, SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHERS FRIENDSHIP AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN. I DON'T KNOW MUCH OF HOW TO PRAY, BUT I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY..
SO, JESUS, THIS IS ME CHECKING IN TODAY.'
Past noon one day, the minister noticed
that old Jim hadn't come.
As more days passed without Jim,
he began to worry some..
At the factory, he asked about him,
learning he was ill.
The hospital staff was worried,
But he'd given them a thrill..
The week that Jim was with them,
Brought changes in the ward.
His smiles, a joy contagious.
Changed people, were his reward.
The head nurse couldn't understand
why Jim was so glad,
when no flowers, calls or cards came,
Not a visitor he had.
The minister stayed by his bed,
He voiced the nurse's concern:
No friends came to show they cared.
He had nowhere to turn.
Looking surprised, old Jim spoke
up and with a winsome smile;
'the nurse is wrong, she couldn't know,
that He's in here all the while
everyday at noon He's here,
a dear friend of mine, you see,
He sits right down, takes my hand,
Leans over and says to me:
'I JUST CAME AGAIN TO TELL YOU, JIM,
HOW HAPPY I HAVE BEEN, SINCE WE FOUND THIS FRIENDSHIP, AND I TOOK AWAY YOUR SIN.
ALWAYS LOVE TO HEAR YOU PRAY,
I THINK ABOUT YOU EACH DAY, AND SO JIM, THIS IS JESUS CHECKING IN TODAY.'
If this blesses you, pass it on. Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart
May God hold you in the palm of His hand
and Angels watch over you.
Please pass this page on to your friends & loved ones. If you aren't ashamed. Jesus said,
' If you are ashamed of me,' I will be ashamed
of you before my Father.'
If you are not ashamed, pass this on.
But only if you mean it.
So this is me ... Just Checking In
Live in peace and peace will live in you.
stoping in to say I love you always and forever!! you mean alot to Jesus and me!! thinking about you and praying for my sweet friend!! Jane
