Dan and I were talking about this last night when one of the news programs talked to a man who collects that type of memorabilia. (Fall out shelter signs, instructions on where to hide). I can remember ducking and covering in the 50s but not later than that. I don't remember having any reaction to it though. It was just one of the things you did in school. In our little town in the Blue Ridge, someone "official" (Health Dept? Engineering?) went house to house during the Cuban missile crisis, and examined each building for the safest place to hide in the event of attack. Our "safe" place was the old coal room in the basement. Uh-huh. My parents just laughed; I don't remember them storing anything for emergencies. A couple of the richer people in town built fallout shelters. I wonder if they are restocking them now. I have to admit I haven't bought anything yet. I always keep water on hand because we are in tornado country, but no duct tape and plastic for us.
