News papers delivered by paper girls, Boys and Girls Scouts squeaky clean. People hiding in Closets. Kids playing on soft ball fields and basketball courts outdoors during recess. Those were the days !
I used to deliver the local paper after school...110 papers...M-S every week...did it for 5 years...never missed a day. Mine was baseball fields.
My girlfriend had the only paper route, 'small town', I had to settle for mowing and the hay field, a $1.00 an hour and I was damn happy to get it.
By the time I got into Jr. High, we had climbed the economic ladder from dirt-poor to middle class. Certainly not affluent, but we really didn't want for much. My parents let us be kids a while longer. It wasn't until after I started driving at 16 that I got my first job at the Union 76 station, and later retailer at Radio Shack.
