The people we aspired to be decades ago are much different than the celebrities we look up to today. The values of our past have nearly vanished, but I'm hoping that if everyone sees this, they might be convinced to get back to our roots. Please share and remind everyone what "cool" used to be like!

Without a history we can have no future...

Sadly the kids today just don't have the same values or role models... They've grown up watching idiots...sad.

Thanks for sharing... Love taking a walk back in time!
