Times They Are A-changin’ as Told by a Couple Happily Married for 50+ Years

The only way to ensure a long life is to keep having birthdays. Steve and Mary McSwain Steele have celebrated 72 birthdays, 52 as a married couple. Looking back over the past seven decades, they’ve witnessed an incredible transformation in everything from fashion to entertainment to politics: Bell bottoms, mini-skirts, and skinny pants. Rock ‘n’ Roll, Disco, and Hip-Hop. The Greatest Generation, Baby Boomers, and Gen Z. The Vietnam Conflict, The Civil Rights Movement, and the fight for gender equality. Zorro, The Ed Sulivan Show, Friends, The Bachelor.Take a deep dive into nostalgia with the Steeles as they reminisce and look to the future. This sometimes serious, mostly humorous story will bring back long-forgotten memories and songs if you’ve had enough birthdays to remember the “olden days.” If you’re under 50, “Times” will help you better understand your parents and explain why they are (fill in the blanks here: Quirky? Penny pinchers? Set in their ways?)Ahh, the early days. Life was simpler back then. Or was it?
