I remember the wipers were vacuum operated, I remember the soda fountains, I remember blacks not being allowed in white establishments, I remember the starters being on the floor. I remember no air conditioning, I remember the buses being electric with the overhead lines. I remember vacations traveling by train. I remembered practicing for nuclear war in school. I remember my mother keeping me inside all summer because several kids that lived close to us caught polio. I remember taking the polio vaccine on a sugar cube. I remember pulling up in the gas station, the attendant would ask if we wanted regular or ethel?
