I remember when we stood on our front walk at night, and watched Sputnik orbit across the Southern sky.

Willie wins.

I remember going to the library to look through a card catalog to find books and having to check them out in order to do a research report. The Internet made all that so easy it's now unappreciated how much work it used to be.

I remember when Ronald Regan said, Mr. Gorbachev tear down that wall and my Great Grandmother cried. That was really a monumental moment. I loved Ronald Regan, best speaker ever.

I don't care to remember anything from my past. I've worked hard to forget it. :/

I remember when a mule pulled a President's casket down Pennsylvania Avenue. It interrupted my cartoons, and I was annoyed, until I saw a little boy salute his daddy's casket.

A lot changes in 40 years. I have seen signs at the gas station on our corner (during gas wars) as low as 18 cents a gallon.

Normally around 27 cents.

I grew up on 19.99 cents, and have always wondered who collects the .99 cents?

I remember being late for 3rd grade, and getting a ride on the crossing guard traffic officer's motorcycle the three blocks to school so I wouldn't get in trouble. Back in those days, regular policemen did that duty.

I remember being mesmerized by "one small step." And then mesmerized by all the steps after that one.

I remember a couple of times when the local National Guard came to our school and gave us rides in a tank in the field out behind the school. Another time they just brought a Jeep, but the ride in that was WILD..... turning donuts and stuff. All with no seat belts.

Remember Test Patterns and just three channels on TV? Oh, yeah, the patriotic "sign-offs" at midnight?
