This is the first time I have seen this thread. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Turns out , for some of you, it looks like I was older than your age now when you were born! (I have not read most of the thread yet, however.) I voted for Richard Nixon for criminy sake (at least I can joke about it). Truman was still president when I was born.
Although many of you are more interested in an era a little newer than my main interests, I kind o like this place. I preferred Al Jolson and Paul Whiteman to the music of my high school years. I sometimes drove the 1929 REO I had at the time to high school. I later sold the REO because I concluded it was a "bit too modern" for my liking. A good long-time friend of mine (who happens to be only a few years younger than I) told me of this site and said I would find a lot of stuff here that I would like. He was right.
I am also pleased to see some younger generation individuals taking so much interest in OUR recent past. The antique automobiles I love so much are a major part of all OUR history. Whether for good or for bad. NO ONE in this world today would be where they are if not for all the history of the past hundred plus years.
One of my long-time favorite sayings is; "You cannot know where you are going, unless you know where you are. And you cannot truly know where you are, unless you know where you were."
I can take some comfort in not being quite the oldest one here, yet. Although I usually feel like I am 90.
As for the survey? Whether I mark it today? Or the first day it began here? It would be the same box. How many of you can say that?
I was born almost four months before Eisenhower was elected.
