It is hard for the children who were born after the WW2 to appreciate what took place in America during the 1950s. The average square feet of a new home in the 1950s was something like 1,000 square feet. And the parents managed to put four children into that space. I have written in previous posts about the number of TV sets after the end of the WW2 and the number in 1950. I really am writing a book. It is just a work in progress. And you can be a contributor.
