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.......

Ron Smith · 04-04-2012, 09:02 PM

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.
