5. What were some slang
expressions you used growing up?
A.
Uh, hunky-dory, gee-whiz, oh, my gosh. We called cars “tin Lizzies.”
6. What was your favorite
entertainment?
A.
Going swimming in the lake. There was a movie matinee Saturdays at two. We watched
cartoons, westerns, newsreels. If you were older, you got the feature.
Otherwise, you just sat and ate your popcorn and were quite happy. It cost
fifteen cents. I saw a lot of dancing films – Fred Astaire and Ginger, the Marx
Bros. In the middle there would be a give-away. For a set of dishes or
something. It lasted the whole afternoon.
