WE ARE A GENERATION THAT WILL NEVER COME BACK.

I am 71. When I was about 10 years old, I was allowed to walk all the way downtown to Martin's Hobby Shop (about a mile each way) to spend birthday or Christmas money on airplane models. Would you let a 10-year-old do that now? And @go-fish, I don't think Mark was being arrogant or suggesting that his generation is better than any other, I think he was simply stating some facts of things he fondly remembers about growing up when he did. And by-the-way, @Mark Wainwright, you forgot to mention that walking to school was uphill both ways.

Thanks Harriosnm. I turn 73 in 2 weeks and I've seen a lot but also missed a lot and thank goodness I did in places. I'm sure in some way our parents and grandparents have said the same thing in some way or the other. If our parents came back to see how the world has changed they'd be blown away. You can talk and see each other on a portable phone? Teachers only have 20 students per class? Why in my day LOL We've all heard that phrase
