IN THE NOISELESS NIGHT, memories come back that have been scattered through the years. They are waiting now to be excused properly, perhaps even to be resized, making them more manageable. If you remember your first black-and-white television program, have ever sat at a soda fountain on a red, spinning barstool, or had your hair done up in pin curls, you are a child of the fifties. Here is childhood remembered in poetry.
Anyone who grew up in the 50's in most any small town will relate to these poems, photos, and brief accounts of life back then. The Longview '23 Club is a social organization originally formed by lineal descendants of the founders of Longview but is now open to all who share a love for the city, its beauty and history. Each year the club holds a dinner meeting in October with a theme and program coordinated by the president. In 2017 president Carolyn Caines has gathered memories from members of the club. What was it like to grow up in Longview in the 1950's? Enjoy a look at the city of Longview, Washington as told by members of the Longview '23 Club.
