Was born in 77'. But I definately remember the eighties. My dad got his lay-off papers and we moved to a very slummy area in a small city. My dad was layed off for 5 years from Chrysler. He would take any job he could find. I remember waiting in the unemployment lines with my parents. Man I was terrible. I could not stay still, and my poor mother would split hairs to keep me in line. My dad moved temporarily to Colorado to do some construction work with a friend who had a big contract. Right when we were getting to move over there, he got called back. To this day even the mention of Jimmy Carters name sets him off. And Ronald Reagan is his hero he will go to the grave with. I look back now and think how much I liked it though. Me and my dad are best friends now because of it. Every day, and I mean every day we were either hunting or fishing. My mom would call into school and say I was gonna be late, I was fishing with my dad. The school always said no problem it is good to have parents spend time with their children. My dad was always the coach of my sports teams, and always practiced sports with me. It was great, now I am 24, and my dad is only 45, so we still have lots of time together. We still play sports, hunt, fish, fix cars, and do whatever together. We are best of friends. He is gonna retire in two years, and keeps bugging we and my wife to have kids so he can come out by us and spend time with his grandchildren.
