Woodsdale Memories

May 5, 2008

Are you yearning for the “good old days”? Kate Quinn invites you to bring your children or grandchildren for a nostalgic look back at life in Woodsdale from 1945 to 1960. She will present a humorous, light-hearted look at growing up in this unique American neighborhood at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 6 at Vance Memorial Church.

Quinn — herself a child of Woodsdale — has interviewed more than 60 former and current Woodsdale residents who recalled all the myths and memories of a childhood unlike any today. Before television, before computers, before attention-deficit and fast foods, there was a place that was the center of the universe to children who grew up there.

Through a collection of photos from many of Woodsdale’s families, Quinn will bring the neighborhood to life and highlight just how different childhood was then. Today’s teens will see a lifestyle as alien from their own as if it had taken place on another planet; and parents and grandparents who experienced this era will nod their heads recalling the stories of the big snow of 1950 and the tornado of 1954 that shocked Woodsdale.

Recalling the polio epidemic of 1952, Quinn will remind program attendants of the mothers’ warnings that polio was caused from playing in the leaves and recalls standing in long lines at Woodsdale Elementary for the first vaccine in 1955.
