I remember ...
• All my pet's names.
• A WWII enemy aircraft identification guide & field glasses.
• Dick Tracy, Lil Abner, and Pogo.
• The first phone owned by my folks. It was 562R2, rotary-dial,
on a party line.
• A boiling pot of crabs, on the campfire, at Dungeness Bay.
• Newspapers.
• In Sumner: Carl's Cafe and the Dairy Freeze next to
Baumbach's Lockers.
• A Barn Owl swooping low over a field at dusk.
• In our Junior year the "Spartans" beat the "Vikings" in the
annual Thanksgiving Day football game.
• Bill Haley and his Comets.
• August camping and Salmon fishing at La Push.
• My first Fly-Rod.
• San Francisco, San Diego, New Orleans, Waukegan, Norfolk,
Guantanamo Bay, Charleston.
• Old radio transmitters with PA tubes the size of tenor
saxophones.
• Transistors replaced Vacuum tube.
• Integrated circuits replaced transistors.
• Gibraltar, Monaco, Barcelona, Palma, Castellon, La Spezia,
Monte Carlo, Never on Sunday, and Mediterranean Swim Calls.
• Mass integration replaced integrated circuits.
• TTY chugging along defining Carriage Return and
Line Feed.
• Pittsburg, New York, London, Paris, New Delhi, Beirut, Bangkok,
Saigon, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Hanauma Bay.
• Having just enough "script" to cover a surprisingly expensive
dinner at the American Press Club in Saigon.
• Trying to see all of the Louvre Museum on a Sunday afternoon.
• Having a drink at "Bottoms Up" in Hong Kong and visiting the
border with Red China.
. TRS-80's and cassette storage.
• 5 1/4" floppies.
• My first Steelhead.
I don't remember getting old!
