Did I miss something along the way? You wrote about the 30's (and decades previous) and now the 50's. What happened to the 40's? I know there was a war (!!!) and we moved twice but that was the decade of my childhood - age 5 to 15. We never went out for meals but for the very occasional picnic so I may have had HoJo's ice cream a few times. Now when Friendly's arrived and we got a new refrigerator with a freezer my Dad made sure there was always ice cream available!
