4.9/5 (33929 ratings)

Description:Childhood Memories of the 1950’s is a humorous and nostalgic look at life in the 1950’s as seen through the eyes of a young boy. Robert Simpson has captured some of his fondest memories of growing up during the decade that produced thousands of post-World War II babies who came to be known as “Baby Boomers.” It was the decade during which television, air conditioning, fast food and shopping centers first became part of our daily life.It was a decade when kids “walked the dog” with their yo-yos and entire families twirled hula hoops. Doctors made house calls and little boys made secret forts. Families wrapped aluminum foil around “rabbit ears” to get better television reception of programs featuring stars like Jack Benny, Lawrence Welk, Jackie Gleason, Red Skelton, Perry Mason, Zorro, Milton Berle and many others. Kids watched Captain Kangaroo, Howdy Doody and Pinky Lee. Little boys practiced their quick draw to be like Roy Rogers or donned their coon skin caps to emulate Davy Crockett.Simpson captures the innocence of a time when nudity was never seen on television or in the movies and the word “sex” was seldom uttered in public. Curious kids wondered where babies came from, but often got ambiguous answers from hesitant parents. Little boys “liked” little girls, but seldom told them. “Stay at home” moms were common and divorce was rare.Simpson writes with a comfortable style that is lighthearted and humorous as he gives a first person account of life as a little boy in the 1950’s. He describes the comical culture clashes that inevitably arose when the rural family of his father mixed with the city family of his mother. Who would have thought that there would be an argument over whether to have indoor plumbing?Childhood Memories of the 1950’s takes the reader back in time to a decade of optimism and innocence that will never be replicated. For “Baby Boomers” the book will revive fond memories of simpler times. Younger readers will be amazed that anything could be accomplished without computers, cell phones and microwave ovens.
