I was not quite 14. Birthday is in April. Mornings would find me delivering my Detroit Free press route. IIRC it was a pretty cold winter and I was learning how to ice fish. Listening to Steppenwolf, Zepplin and the Doors. I was reading Hot Rod magazine and books from the library.

At roughly 12 years of age? I'm thinking 6th grade and the normal dumb shit kids that age get into.

Working as a digital logic designer for Control Data Corporation in Arden Hills, Minnesota. It was damned cold there in January.
Few of you existed when my mother brought me into this world.
Serious about crackers.

I was 10 years old, but I remember our local library having Hot Rod Magazine available, pretty cool.

Graduated from college in December '71, so was out looking for a job in a tough economy. Was probably rolling pennies to buy a couple of tacos to celebrate getting through engineering school.

8 years old, (Would be 9 that sept) and not a clue what I was doing
I was in second grade and don’t exactly remember what I was doing…
I remember the 72 Olympics and the murder of the Israelis.

A junior in HS, trying to lose my virginity. Was a daunting task, not to be, as I was not part of the in crowd or an early bloomer.

I was 2. Probably picking, eating, scratching, and playing with our dog. Nothing exciting but in a lot of ways being a more productive member of society than a lot of other folks. LOL!

I was 20 years old, and a 1st year apprentice meterman for an electric utility.

I was nine years old and in the 3rd grade, having moved to our family farm outside a small town in the country about nine months earlier. It was the winter of 71-72 that, while doing my farm chores, I discovered how muddy farming could be on days when the ground wasn’t frozen.
