60 Going on Fifty: The Baby Booomers' Memory Book (Morgan James 2010) is the story of sixteen young men who graduated from Columbus High School (Indiana) in May of 1960. The stories are about growing up in the 40's, 50's, and 60's and how those times impacted who these men are today.

You got that, right? Sixteen "guys". Typically, guys don't share their feelings, emotions, or the intimate details of their lives. Not true of the "Columbus Crew." The guys are honest and open about their experiences from their youth through the present day.

Sharing their real life experiences, the "Columbus Crew" will take you back to the days of flattops, LP's, hula hoops, transistor radios, Lassie, and when gas cost only 20 cents per gallon.

These days we rarely take the time to remember and share with children and grandchildren the memories of how life was lived back in the good old days. 60 Going on Fifty will inspire you to recall and retell your own life experiences. The stories will make you laugh, cry, and most important - remember! The story of any one of us is, in part, the story of all of us.

"Larry and I were known to break the ice on Flatrock River and scuba dive under it."

"My first job was delivering papers for the old Indianapolis News. Afternoon delivery every day but Sunday. Sunday delivery was early in the morning. I remember the manager would come back to my bedroom window and shine a light until I was out of bed."

"I remember the '57 Olds Holiday. My dad was so proud to have paid $5000 for it."

"Those were the good old days, as you say. We did not need any TV's or computers to entertain ourselves. We were free to roam around a pretty wide area without much adult supervision or protection. Life was much slower then..."
