I miss the societal acceptance of being able to either go nude or of wearing Speedos during the 1970's through 1980's. However, being a non-smoker I was surrounded by topless young women (including my sisters) and men whom enjoyed chain smoking. They really chastised me for not joining in on smoking. I usually left my group of friends to go bicycling along the beach. Times have changed and at 63 years of age I'm in excellent health and shape, whereas, most of my group of friends have either died young in their 40's and 50's or are in their 60's today with health issues.

The beach attire photo above was taken in August 1970. 50 years ago this month.
As a teenager I spent my entire summer at the beach.
