We were the class of 1958, members of the Greatest Generation as well as children of the Greatest Generation. Born in 1940, we are also called members of the Traditional Generation.
Our childhood, post World War II, "was the best of times . . . it was the age of wisdom . . . it was the epoch of belief . . .it was the season of Light . . . it was the spring of hope . . . we had everything before us . . .we were all going direct to Heaven . . . ." (A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens.) At least, that's the way I felt about it. We were truly blessed.

Just think of the stories that old building could tell if it could talk!
One of my memories is going to the playing field to watch games (football?) and buying big dill pickles as a snack. Our kids today would be better off with pickles than the junk they have today.
Remember the heavenly aroma of baking bread from Smith's Bakery while we watched football games or had pep rallies? And the not so heavenly aroma of the infamous skunk? Was it Uncle Jimmy Short who set up the portable snack bar at the front of the school to sell to students at the end of the school day?
