1. When I punched off a deuce next to the retaining wall and behind a bush when I was 8 years old. Green flies appeared within minutes. I watched the job go away over a period of weeks.
2. When I heard about Sputnik as I was picking up the evening newspapers for my corner market sales pitch. I was 10 years old.
3. When I heard that JFK had been shot. I was a junior in high school and 16 years old.
4. When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon. I was in Vietnam and 22 years old. I was soaking wet and I could see the moon.
5. The day I returned home from Vietnam and separated from the Army.
6. The day my brother-in-law called and told me my dad died in his car. Dad was 55. I was 33 and suddenly the general manager of our mom & pop store.
7. The day I put the maiden flight (solo) on my rag-wing Piper after a 10 year rebuild. I was 40 years old.
8. My 1st day of retirement. I was 64 and spent the first 3 days in bed with the flu. That was 11 years ago.
Can't remember shit after that.
