Both great memories PB & Kly. Like the memory I posted, they seem brief and we don't remember all the details cause we were so young, BUT for whatever reason those particular memories remain in our minds. smile

Another, again brief memory. I must have been 4 or 5, and went downtown with my mom(which was a shopping event we dressed up for in those days LOL). I was holding my mom's hand and there was a lot of activity(more than usual) because Eisenhower, who was running for President, was in town. Many people had "I Like Ike" pins on them. I remember being a little awed at the excitement and activity around me, and held my mom's hand tightly. We never saw Ike, but for whatever reason that event/atmosphere stuck in my mind.
