Buttermilk is not the same in cartons as it was in glass bottles. But than nothing is the same.

There was a quality of life that was left behind in the 60's, whose philosophical basis was
established during the depression, that gathered solidarity during the war years and blossomed
in the late 40's & thru the 50-'s.

Work ethics, family, picket fences, and a general appreciation of decency and honesty were what
marked this period.

You won't find it in excavations, unless you can recognize the solidarity through pictures, for
instance, of the family sitting around the Silvertone.  There were no drugs or teenage pregnancy
problems, we wore beanie caps, penny loafers, (knee length nickers .. if you can believe it) and
argyle socks.

It wasn't "old time radio" then .. it was the golden age of radio.
