Remember when?

[Jerry Oz]

Uh...no. Even back in the late 60s and early 70s, I worried about getting jumped, even in a small town. But, as kids, we could wander all around the malls without worrying about anything bad happening.

I walked the six blocks to elementary school, the 1.5 miles to junior high, and two miles to high school alone quite often. It was a blessing to get my drivers license in the 11th grade.

In elementary school I lived just down the street from the school. You can see the schoolyard from my front door. I never worried about that.

I used to walk three miles to and from school for fun in jr. high. I sometimes worried. I rode the bus in high school.
