"A special note: This new edition is enhanced by full-color photos and some
more exciting adventures in Ken's incredible journey"
Historians have labeled the 50s and 60s as a time of innocence, and many feel it was the greatest generation. In the early 50s, we witnessed the birth of television (in black and white). And it was live TV, where the unpredictable could-and would happen. People felt safe, and it wasn't unusual for them to leave their cars and front doors unlocked. In the 50s and 60s, we did not have cell phones or computers for texting and email. We communicated by talking to each other (sometimes for hours) and we wrote "hand-written' letters; imagine that. Things were so different then. Milk and meat tasted different, and even tap water tasted better, (bottled water? What's that?).
It was also a time when women's rights and the civil rights movement gained momentum. The world was beginning to change.
I have two goals in writing this book. One is to share my personal life journey and memories with you, and the other is to provide you with a picture of what was happening in the world, especially in the United States, at that time. You will soon draw your own conclusions about whether the time in which we baby boomers were brought up was truly "A Time Like No Other,"
If you were born in the 50s or 60s, I know you will cherish this journey and my personal stories. If you weren't, then sit back, relax, read, and enjoy what you've missed. Put on your seatbelts.
