One item on my todo list is `scan all family photos` including the very old sepia ones, thats genuine brownie photos, i think there is three surviving, says mum (82y) I've been working on that project 1 hr/day 4 days/week for the past 3 months. Maybe 1/4 of the way through the pile of shoeboxes. And then I get to MY pics ......... Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

( Another great duty station ) Shemya AFB Aleution Islands AK. Even though that was a 1 year remote tour I liked it. Last base was Shaw AFB SC nice base but cutthroat civillains all the way. That base was the reason I got out. Then did a stint in the Army Revserve as a combat eningneer. [/quote] Old James |

Born: long time ago Was told by my French teacher in detention that “those Americans had shot JFK†November 22, 1963. We didn’t know who LBJ was other than he was the VP Joined RCAF 1964 Watched the movie “A hard Day’s Night†on New Year’s Eve 64/65 in the theater at Boot Camp in Quebec Bought first new car Austin Mini 1968 Listened to the Moon landing on my portable radio that was gun-taped to my Yamaha DS-6 at Wasaga Beach on Lake Huron July 20 1969 Saw first human step on the moon July 21 1969 while setting on the floor in the Corporal’s club at RCAF, RCA training base Camp Borden Saw person smoke a Ganja Splif in August on the shores of Lake Simcoe in the city of Barrie, smelled like burning rope All of the preceding information is hearsay, or second and third hand information, I somewhat remember hearing about owning a small red car that was so much fun to drive that I bought another new one in 1970 after having gone through a 1075 Cooper, and a Cooper S no cuts, bruises, deaths, or reported accidents. I had to install set and sholder belts my self. What was the question again? |

They do say that if you can remember the 60's you weren't there ...... I can't remember the 60s, does that mean i was there? Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

Well that probably excludes you from being there in your current incarnation - unless of course you were a late developer.... Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

<sigh> I was born in '87 so it is a bit more difficult for me to remember the 60s. I was graduating from HS in 77. Just after the Vietnam war the draft registration was canceled for a couple of years. My 18th birthday fell into that gap. BOINC WIKI |
