Hi Keystone,
Always good to visit with you.
I was born in 1949 but I remember being outside in 1957 at night and seeing sputnik go overhead. OCU mentioned not being able to remember much from Glenn's event in 62. I wouldn't remember it either except that I had the good fortune to be in a classroom equipped with a television which we usually used to see televised classes from our local public television station through what is now PBS. We used that T.V. to watch the Glenn launch all morning long. Our teacher had an interest, along with our principal, in us seeing the great events of the day. As I grow older I come to appreciate that education that I received in grade school during those key formative years. My grade school was a very innovative place for a small town located in rural southern Illinois at that time. I only wish that my teacher and principal were alive today for me to thank them profusely for the environment that was created to allow unfetered experimentation and the learning that resulted from that situation.
Regards,
Joe
