Home By Dark Kids

"Well, I guess the thing that I harp on most is how kids were--what do they call them now? Free range kids? We were all free range kids, when I grew up. It was "be home by dark." Small little community, you could-- the school was sort of the hub cause we could all get there by foot or bicycle, and so, you know, we learned independence. We made up our own rules. You know, when you played ball--you had organized ball, but you kinda made up your own rules, you learned to get along, you learned if you didn't get along if there turned out to be a lot of disharmony, the game would break up. So, that was the thing that I remember that I wish kids could experience, and I know it's never going back to that, but I wish they could experience."
