Summer of 1950-1960

Summer in the 1960's

Summer vacation experience's are different for every person. My grandfather Donald Scott grew up in the 1950-1960's. Donald was one of eight children in his family, four boys and four girls. He lived in East Rochester, Ohio. His family owned a farm and his father owned a mechanic's shop.Graduated from Minvera highschool in 1964. His family was poor but he always had school clothes, food and a roof over his head.

Summer are different today than they were back in the day, my grandfather didn't get exotic vacation he went to Washington D.C and California.  My grandfather told me that he didn't have an exact to preserve but he wants to shows values of the old days. "I wanted children today to respect there elders and work hard for what they want in life",Donald quoted. During Summer it was all work no play. My grandfather said summer he bailed hay, milked cows and gathered eggs. Another job he did was to pick strawberries for just six cents a quart. When my grandfather wasn't working he enjoyed riding bicycles with friends, fishing at the lake and hunting on the farm. Kids than played outside till the street lights came on but that almost seems like a different world.Respect for elders is a value my family taught me your elders deserves the most respect of anyone.

"My dad wore respect around his waist",Donald quoted. So as you soon get to enjoy the nice Summer weather think about the respect our elders deserve for all the hard work they did as a child until they could no longer. Their work ethnic is like no other and something to we children could learn a lot from.
