April 13, 2023GenX School Lunch Experience
We’ve spoken several times on this show about our GenX educational experiences. But one particular part of school keeps coming up time & time again. It was part social club, part study hall, part hangout — oh, and by the way, you could also eat lunch! In this episode, with help from our listeners, we remember the school lunch experience from the Generation X perspective.
