I did get to see President Eisenhower in person when he visited OKC in 1958. Several 1958 Ford Edsels in his motorcade. First time I saw one of those in person also! haha <br />parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17201281917735686135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116206520787459203.post-1046021059409264622013-03-25T01:06:59.227-10:002013-03-25T01:06:59.227-10:00Great collections of your early years.

You're old!
-John Defenbaker is ...Hmm 1959... You're old!<br /> <br />-John Defenbaker is Prime Minister of Canada<br />-Dwight Eisenhower is President of United States<br />-Fidel Castro is begining his Dictatorship in Cuba<br />-And Nikita Khrushchev is leader of the Soviet Union<br />-The average wage is $1.25 an hour<br />-A new home is worth $30,000.00<br />-Gasoline is $0.30 cents per gallon (that’s .08 cents per litre) (Talk about the good old days!)<br />-A brand new car is around $2,000.00 <br />-And a postage stamp is .04 cents <br />-Johny Horton’s “The Battle of New Orleans” reaches #1<br />-Franky Avalon sings about “Venus” (not the planet)<br />-And Paul Anka does well with his song “Put your head on my shoulder”<br />-On TV you could watch programs like “Texas Rangers”, “Name that tune” or “The Danny Thomas show” and Huntley-Brinkley was NBCs nightly news anchor.<br /><br />I know all this because I gathered this information to incorporate into a tribute speech for my parents 50th wedding anniversary several years ago. They were married in "59", I didn't show up on the scene until the following year.<br /><br />Parker these pictures and recollections from your early years are rich and make for one of your finer posts!
