Hmmmm.
I lived in a house on State Road in Stutsmansville Michigan. I attended first grade in a one room school house there in 1950.
I think that was the year I saw the first dial telephone, someone had brought one to our little school to show us one. Technology was exploding, I thought, as the phone at home had a crank on the side you turned to get the operator, and then had to tell her who you wanted to talk to or give her a 2 digit number.
I think that was the year our neighbor John Cupps dug a well at his house. Just started shoveling until he hit water.
He was killed in a tractor accident while logging in the woods after my family had moved away.
I remember my step grandfather sending me to the general store on the corner of that small village with a dollar for some chewing tobacco, that year.
I remember riding old Bill, our plow horse, during that time frame also.
I don't remember it, but an older brother told me that someone was trying to pass off the old big pennies as quarters around 1949-1950 there.
Want to hear about 1952?

I know for a fact there's at least one more forum member born that year!
