Paul I beat you by one year Jan 58 for me
. Born and raised in upstate NY in a fairly small town but it had lots of manufacturing jobs . There were three IBM facilities , a Zerox and a few other large employers with many smaller supporting manufacturing facilities . My dad worked for IBM and mom was a stay at home . We were not rich we were not poor ............. we were the typical middle class family .
Met my wife there ( we just celebrated 42 years of bliss ) and started our family . But by the 90's the area had lost a LOT of manufacturing jobs and the area became quite depressed which was our queue to get out . We moved south and here we are to stay . But we don't regret any or our time in NY it was a simpler time and quite good for most of the stay . But life moves on .
