"my politics were something that I definitely thought about.  I was concerned with what we were doing in the world as there was talk of a draft and having to go into the service.  This was something that I was afraid of.  I think that when Ronald Regan became President i became much more comfortable with where the US was regarding politics and our place in the world." -TLS

"It was different  I was expected to do many things on my own.  I had responsibilities and was expected to keep those in place.   I was not babied and did not have everything handed to me.  If wanted something i would have to work to get it.  For example I bought a TV when I was 14 years old for my room.  I had to earn that money myself by cutting grass and washing cars etc." -TLS

"We would go to a few Twins games in the summer and play golf as a family when we were not doing our sports.  We took an annual summer vacation, usually a week long, and in the winter we mostly stayed home and would usually go out to dinner as a family a couple of Friday or Saturdays per month." -TLS

"My family relationship is much the same today as then.  I lean on them when needed but do much of my own thing and took care of myself.  My Dad worked a lot because he owned his own businesses, my mom worked and took care of me and my younger brother.  As I was the oldest I did my own thing." -TLS

"To me they did not seem that much different than today.  We would come home eat dinner as a family and go off to our activities if there were ones scheduled. Public places might have been a bit more segregated than today as there were not as many minorities and not as many rights exercised as we are aware of today.  School was a place that operated very similar as today.  There was probably a HIGHER authority level given to teachers and administrators and there were certainly few of these authorities doing the jobs.  Also the schools and public places were much more open without security concerns that exist today" -TLS

"I think men and women acted much differently towards each other.  While women did not have the some of the same rights and respect in the big picture of things we all got along very well and respected each other.  For me I do not recall the “Me too” movement being prevalent or anything that I needed to concern myself with.  It was not in the news EVERYDAY." -TLS
