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.

MA, thanks for your recipe. Or you could try this:
Watermelon Vodka
Recipe courtesy Jamie Oliver
Show: The Naked Chef
Great for a party. Wish I’d known about this when I was going to school parties–I could have walked in with my watermelon and got all my mates (he's Australian) completely sloshed! Needs to be started a few days–even a week–before you can plan to eat it.
1 large, ripe watermelon--give it a smell and slap to check for ripeness
1 bottle best quality vodka (or even champagne)
Simply cut a hole in the top of the melon, wide and deep enough to insert a funnel. Pour some of your chosen alcohol into the melon through the funnel, leave to sit for a day and pour in some more. The flesh will absorb the liquid, so pour in some more the next day--basically until it becomes saturated. When ready to serve, slice up into nice big pieces and get all your mates plastered on it!
So are you bringing watermelons to our "Woodstock II"?
