We are the 5 Martin kids that lived on Main Street in Sheldon, Illinois in the late 1940s, 50s, 60s, and early 70s. We started this blog in order to write down our memories of what life was like for us during that time.
We also wanted to share stories of our parents, Bill and Joyce Martin. As many of you know, our mother was born in England and met our dad when he was stationed in England during World War II. They each have a unique history of living during the roaring 20s, surviving the Great Depression and World War II.
As both of them have passed on we felt it was important to preserve their memories as they were told to us. So over the life of this blog we will tell you what we know and will try to include pictures as we go along.
We hope you enjoy it and I am sure the 5 of us will enjoy our trip down memory lane.
