The saddest part for me is realizing how old I've gotten and realizing what a great time we lived in

[michaelwheeling]

I remember my parents getting green stamps when you bought groceries. You filled books full then would go to a green Stamp store and trade them in for household items. Vacuum cleaners, toasters, coffee pots.

Born in 53. I would do anything to go back to the 60's. You could sleep with your doors unlocked, neighbors were there for you whenever you needed them. Music was the best! So sad my parents, grandparents and aunts and uncles are all gone. Brings tears to my eyes that our road ahead is much shorter than the road behind us.

Another fad in the sixties was to make chains out of the soda and beer can pull-off tabs. Also, the gum wrappers were fashioned into necklaces and bracelets and other things.

In my 70+ years on this planet, the 50’s and 60’s were the best time of my young life. Sorry that kids today will never have the chance to experience that way of life.

If I could go back as an adult in the 60’s, I wouldn’t hesitate. We would ride our bikes everywhere, play baseball, go to A&W for root beer. I loved cartoons on Sat am. I remember my mom getting dressed to go out w/my dad on New Year’s Eve. She was tall and thin, and had this gorgeous red dress on and had a high beehive hairdo. She was beautiful and my dad was really handsome. Hamburgers were 20 or 25 cents at McDonald’s, and they actually tasted like hamburgers. I tell my grandkids stories of my childhood and they act horrified! No Netflix, wireless internet, video games, and, especially, NO CELLPHONES!

I was born in 1958 and like so many others commenting have wonderful memories of my childhood in the 60’s. Growing up in a small town in Southeast Texas we knew practically everyone. We would get on our bikes in the summer and go visit friends, go pick dewberries along the fence on the side of the road, ride to the small country grocery store and get “penny” candy and yes, each piece was only one cent! As long as we were home before dark no one worried about us. No cell phones, no computers and only 3 channels on TV. Life was simple and fun and I feel blessed to have those memories.

When I was a child in the 60's I would hear my Grandfathers stories when he was young, I would think things will never change that much again, little did I know how fast and far things would change in my own lifetime.
But I am forever grateful for growing up in that special time.

I was a true child of the 60's... it was such a safe time! You stayed out till dusk and then you would hear your mom calling for you to come home. Better be home when
those street lights came on :) Everybody else's mom was also YOUR mom and you better mind them. You showed respect for your elders and always minded your
manners. Kids gathered outside every afternoon after school to play.. and in summer there would be days of fort building and monopoly games that went on and on.
What a different time it we were having the time of our lives and didn't even know it :) I feel lucky to now be 64 and feel like I'm 40 and have these wonderful
memories.

It's almost taken my 65 years of living to realize I was so lucky to be born when I was. It's not even close to the same World today. I'd say the 60's were the best, maybe because of my age then but also for everything in this video.

Growing up in a world before the Internet is a true blessing

[samanthab]

I’m getting to the age where all my aunts & uncles are gone, along with grandparents. It’s tough to realize there isn’t a person left alive whose known me my whole life.

[fremontpathfinder]

Born in 1962 and remember a lot from the late 60's and 70's. What a wonderful time. People socialized more, kids were outside playing after school. Our neighborhood was safe.

[judithbrown]

The best years of my life because of the innocence of society. The best music, best t.v. shows, best commercials and best neighborhoods. If you didn't grow up in the 60's, you'll never understand.

[PBryanMcMillin]

I started first grade in 1965. One of the things I remember about grade school, particularly the early years, are the smells. I'm not sure if many people remember, but we were surrounded by many different smells back then. Things like paste, crayons, Playdoh, construction paper all had distinct smells to the that I still remember. I think many of us remember is the smell of a piece of paper that had been recently run through a mimeograph machine. The purple duplicating fluid had a very unique smell. Also, the classroom pencil sharpener, when filled with the wood shavings had a smell similar to what you'd find in a woodworking shop. I'm not sure about classrooms today, but I imagine they are much less fragrant than the ones all those years back.

"Leave it to Beaver" TV show always seemed to have a good message about life growing up.

[OcotilloTom]

I was born in 1946, the 60's were a coming of age time for me. Joined the Marine Corps at 18 in Jan.1965. Did two tours in Vietnam, wounded in Oct. 66. and back again in 1971 as a platoon commander. Still I'm glad I was born when I was.

[leehenderson]

This is so fun yet painful in that we can never get this life back.i feel absolutely blessed to have grown up in the 60s.thanks so much for making these videos.

It was an honor to grow up in the 1960's loved it. Kids today have no idea how great things were back then.

I remember as a kid mom made us dress in our best when going out to almost any function. I remember when glove compartments in cars actually carried
those elbow length white damask gloves my mother wore. And I remember Dippity Doo, Aqua Net, Tabu, that ruby red lipstick, Beehives, and Prell. Oh Lord, I miss those days!
