The 1950s in Color - Life in America #Video

Most of the people who appear in this video are long past. The young people, if still alive, are now very old - the children in their 70's. What lives did they live? Were they happy? Were they successful? Did they achieve what they wanted out of life? I don't know - but just watching these scenes from the past makes me contemplate my own life, and appreciate the time I have left. Thanks for watching - and best wishes for your future years!
