My 4 years at Seton Hall college was the best. I wish a took full advantage both the good and the naughty, It got me into law school at Villanova with a 3.75 gpu!

In 1960, I was 10 yrs old...Spent the Winter helping mu dad build a boat in our basement (remember the Mechanics Illustrated boat plans?)...he did 75%; I did 25%...Two years later, we did another (a 8' hydroplane)...That one was 50% - 50%...Two years after that, a 10' utility...that was 25% dad; 75% me...Two years later, I rebuilt/strengthened that and put a 4-cyl Merc Mark 30 on it...Wowza!!! :D

Don't recall much about the Summer of 1960...Anything happen I need to know about??? :p

I like to think of myself as "Pre Space Age", having been born more than a full year before Sputnik.

Junior year of High School, French class, wasting time staring at my future Wife's wonderful anatomy...;) She got "A's," I got "D's," She can speak French, I cannot. I still think I got the better part of the deal.

Ed Mc 04-04-2012 08:58 PM

In the same area as today, sixth grade, I think. A few things have happened since.......;)

I was out behind Spangler's Shake Mill or at the Weyerhaeuser mill pond shooting bullfrogs with a new Crossman pump .22 pellet rifle I got for my 10th birthday.

Other than that, just hangin' with the Babes and stylin' on my customized Schwinn.

I remember standing in our yard watching Sputnik cross the sky with my grandpa's binoculars.
