June 16, 1978, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern
The late 70's was still a time before political correctness became the watchword and free range children still roamed the streets, devoid of constant parental overwatch. This young lady was able to explore her neighborhood and her entire town, for that matter, like most youngsters of that era. I know it's hard to imagine a time without all the fears we've instilled into today's over-scheduled, screen-tethered kids who live with them daily. And look...no helmet, using only one hand to steer, and with a dangerous, potential projectile in her hands as well. Why, she might as well be running with scissors!
