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.
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.
