My beloved sister died of a congenital heart defect in 1956. Today, there is corrective open-heart surgery that could have saved her. If I were able to travel back in time (with a trained surgeon in pediatric cardiology, in tow), I'd be able to save her. I miss her and still mourn for her.

I'd go back to visit me when I was young. I'd find a way to get the BB gun my parents wouldn't let me have. I'd really like to go back and see my dad again. He died when I was 11 in 1964. Maybe this time I would listen more closely to him and make sure I showed him more love.

Well, it was a time of tremendous optimism. We thought we were on the threshold of conquering some age-old problems. We thought that our new United Nations would abolish war, that science would abolish disease, that independence of all those African nations would abolish the unhappiness of colonial times on that continent, that computers would eliminate jobs filled with drudgery, and that automation would enrich us all. None of it quite came out the way we thought it would, even though we'd just fought the most vicious war in history.
You're better off now. Medicine was horrible (Have a heart attack? You're dead.) TV was horrible, automobiles were deadly, black people led miserable lives and were getting sore about it, and you had to use carbon paper to make a copy of anything.

Just for the simplicity of it all. Most women could stay home with their children, kids could go outside and play and not worry about drive-bys or abductions, and your neighbors looked out for you, rather than looked the other way. Families sat around and had conversations. Buildings didn't get blown up. There was less fear in the world. I would go back just to raise my kids in a more wholesome environment.

With the technology we have today no one would really want to, but some people would just to see what it was like. But we haven't invented time travel yet so it doesn't matter.

I would love to go back in time to be around some of the music people of that day and listen to them. Like: Patti Page, Nat King Cole, Frankie Laine. Frank Sinatra. And many more. They were great!

I wouldn't. Avocado green appliances with a red upholstered kitchen booth? No way, Jose. (a 50s saying)

To meet Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, and maybe Louis Armstrong.

Been there, done that. Best years of my life. Times were so simple, but so much was happening. The nuclear war drills were a little unnerving though. It was great to there at the birth of Rock and Roll (by the way, what ever happened to it?)
