Answer 1

Questions:
1.When were you born? July, 1947
2.How did u spend your life as a child? Went to nursery school, then public school. Our family liked to take a lot of road trips. We would visit relatives and historical places like Gettysburg and Fort Ticonderoga as my father loved history. We went out to eat once a week and it was a special occasion. We got dressed up for it.
3. Do you have any older brothers are sisters? One older sister, one younger sister.
4. Was there any type of historical event taking place during that time? Korean war took place while I was growing up, then Vietnam war when I was in high school and college.
5. What is you best memory? I have a lot of them. My earliest good memory was my father carrying me out to the car for a trip to my grandmother before dawn. I felt safe and was happy thinking about seeing my grandmother later.
6.In what ways was life despicible? I got a huge shock when we drove to Florida through the south and I saw segregation for the first time in the late 1950s. It was a horrible shock. Black people couldn't use restaurants, even on the highways and had to go to the bathroom in a barn. Women of all races could not get good jobs because they were women. Teachers got fired when they got pregnant even though they were married.
7.In what ways was life admirable? It was a lot safer then. Fewer people and crazy people were usually in mental institutions. Now they roam the streets. Very few fat people. Most families had one car so people walked to the bus and walked to the stores so everyone got exercise. We would go to the department store, pay for the things and they would be delivered to our house in a few days for free. We didn't have to lug things around.
8. How did your life turn out? Very well. I got a Ph.D. and a good job, a happy marriage.
9. Do u have any regrets? Wish I had worked harder in high school
10.Do u have any kids or grandkids? 3 kids
11.What was your proudest moment? When I got my Ph.D.
