OPINION: 'Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying our parents didn’t care about us. Of course, they did. But they gave us the freedom to discover life on our own,' writes Oro Valley resident Ray Lindstrom.
I am a proud member of the high school class of 1959. For context, that was the year of the class in the movie “Grease.” My school was Catalina High here in Tucson. What a class. What a bunch of super achievers.
Those names and achievements are just the starting point, but I had to stop somewhere and left out other talented folks who have gone on to greatness in many fields.I am not a sociologist or psychologist, or any of those other “ists.” I don’t even play one on TV. But, I think I figured out the secret. And, it was this: Our parents didn’t pay much attention to us. They just let us be.
Our “information age” was not the world at our fingertips with the internet. We had limited input. No TV here until we were in junior high. Just a handful of radio stations. But, the print…wow. Two thick daily newspapers at our doorstep every day loaded with news. And, the library. What great knowledge in that building. We learned how to use it.
