Catalina Cherries

Prologue

Do you remember when every telephone was a landline? Sometimes different families shared one. These were called party lines.

How about music? It could be live, or on the radio, or on the record player or jukebox. It was never portable unless you wanted to carry a radio around. That would have been uncool to say the least with those radios.

Television was black and white with a small screen. Few people could afford them.

Polio stalked children and everyone knew what an iron lung was.

The eligible generation was at war in Korea.

Many things were very different; other things were just the same.

We were there then, too. We were also younger.
