[Sca-cooks] Re: 50's vs '70s

[Elaine Koogler]

Well, I have to admit that I wore bell-bottoms...everyone did!  That's 
also when i started letting my hair grow long.   And....my very first 
car was a 1964 1/2 Mustang.  1/2 because about half-way through the 
model year they replaced the generator with an alternator.  That was one 
sweet car!!!  This was the time when I was away from home, on my own 
completely, for the first time...living in Boston.  That was the time 
when I first found out that southern cooking wasn't the only kind of 
food there was!!!  (Obligatory food content!!)
