The beat for “Staying Alive” by the Bee Gees, yes! I know it is the best deal to do CPR. I have been, uh, involved in EMS since 1971. I was a paramedic for 30 years, licensed paramedic, in Michigan for 30 years. So I have been trained in CPR. I have had to use it and the first couple times working as an EMT, I had to use it. I was a little, uh, I was a little hesitant. I mean, I worried about not doing it right. But as my then partner told me, he said, “You know, if you don't do it, even if you do it wrong,” you know, quote, unquote wrong, “they still have a chance. If you don't do anything, they have no chance at all at life.” I have seen, when I worked as a paramedic, I have seen -- we had a couple of people recover because they had witnessed arrests and CPR was done, immediately, on the scene. And these two individuals were, uh, survived their heart attack, because CPR was immediately done on the scene until we were able to get there and do advanced life-support measures. So yeah, I've been trained in CPR. I haven't been retrained lately, of course, for years, but I have had to use it and I've used it with some success.

I have taken the bait and I'm going to talk about the 70s. A little bit about fashion long hair was it, long straight hair.  My boyfriend/ husband -- his graduation picture is almost embarrassing. His hair is long and kind of ugly. I remember goofing around with a bunch of kids and putting his hair up in pigtails. I mean you could, and it was that long. Bell-bottoms were it. Leisure suits, really ugly, big ties. And for the first time, I remember when men could wear colorful shirts. And for the first time, I remember that switch from wearing like only a white shirt underneath the suit, like for church to being able to wear a colored shirt. It was like a big deal. Okay, and then a little bit about popular culture. I remember movies, Saturday Night Fever, John Travolta in his leisure suit, dancing away. And disaster movies seemed to be the thing. Jaws. Yes, the first date I went on with my future husband to Jaws. The Poseidon Adventure and Inferno and after watching Inferno, I decided that maybe when I thought about the people in that building, in that burning building and if I was in a burning building and could only save one person, who would I save? I kind of thought, hmm. Maybe it would be ***.  Do I love him? Is that what love is? There you go. That's my memories of the seventies.

If I remember the 70s, what something that I miss from that era?Well, in the 70s, in 1970, I was nine years old. And I grew up in that. So from age 9 to 19, I mean, it was my formative years. I missed the tight-knit family that I had, I miss being free to go outside to hang out with my friends go bike riding and do anything we wanted to do. My mom would open the door in the morning and shoo us out and we come home for lunch, and then we were to come home when the lights came back on. I miss that freedom. My kids had a little bit of it growing up, but I was much more conscientious of where they were, and what they were doing than my mom was. And now my grandchildren, don't get to go outside and play without my daughter right there. If the kids are biking, she's sitting on the porch watching them and they're not going far. You know, we used to go and make mud forts, and we would make these massive cities out of dirt, and we'd use our little matchbox cars and we'd work on them for hours in the sun and we'd run home and get popsicle sticks for this or that, or we you know, we would play. And I think that's what's missing now, is just play. Everything is organized and watched. And I miss that.
