Did your family build a fallout shelter in the '50's or '60s?

[raccoon]

Mine didn't. There was talk of building a community fallout shelter but it was just talk.

1. Aunt and uncle did in the early '60s

But, was also in Tornado Alley, Oklahoma City, so am sure it had a dual purpose.

2. My Parents Thought About It, But Decided Not To

My parents thought about building a fallout shelter. Since, however, they lived so close to the center of population in Dallas, Texas, they decided against it. They figured that the shockwave from the nuclear detonation woould have done us in regardless.

As my dad said some years later: "It would ahve saved them the trouble of burying us."

3. Has anybody ever bought a house that had a fallout shelter?

4. No.

Although my father moved my mother and all us kids to Carrebelle, FL (way away from everything) during the Cuban Missile Crisis. He was working with the Air Force photographic lab at the time and was developing the U2 pictures. It's funny but he saw everything before Kennedy. Before it was even public, he had the family go down there.

5. Nope.

And I took that to mean my parents really didn't love us.
