September 1938 - Boys Town was released. Earlier this year, Mickey Rooney died. I was surprised that my husband had never seen it, so we got it from Netflix. This is my throwback Thursday - if you have never seen this flick, it really is great, not just for its time, but for ours, too. Im surprised at how this one guy trying to do good is ignored or publicly defamed by the local newspapers even - all for their own personal opinions - reminds me of today and our media. It also reflects how the nostalgic simpler times maybe werent so much with gangs and homeless kids...and, as always, the need to raise dollars for things that matter. The more things change, the more they really are the same...
