Friday Flashback

Mrs. Manfree’s First Grade Class

I’ll give you a hint….second row from window, third seat back from chalkboard.  🙂

I can remember we use to go to the playground during rocket launches from Cape Canaveral.  It was a perfect place to see the Mercury missions as they appeared over the tree line.  We would all stand and watch as they soared into space.

I can remember the regular “duck and cover” drills during the Bay of Pigs.

I remember playing outside with your friends until dark….or until your mother called you home to dinner.

I remember gas wars and gas prices at @ 25¢ per gallon.

I remember riding our bikes or walking to the store…all by ourselves.

I remember they were simpler times.
