I was a fetus at the time, I don't remember a whole lot.

I like Sigs and HK's, and maybe Glocks

I was 15, BD in June and pretty much doing the same thing you were.
Probably listening to my first album, Iron Butterfly and my second, ZZ Top.

I would have been 6 at the time, so it would have been Saturday morning cartoons and cold pizza from Friday pizza night.

Junior in HS. Probably out riding the Eglin reservation on my motorcycle. Like others mentioned watching Vietnam closely on the news as I spent 1st and 2nd grade in Saigon and was definitely interested in what was going on.

Sophomore in high school and discovering that the girls in the senior class were easier to date than the girls in my class. Probably cause all the senior boys were preying on the sophomore and freshman girls.

Thirteen years old and eighth grade in 1972. Emergency!, a show I still enjoy today, made its debut.

The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity.

I was two months ahead of you. Probably nursing, pooping and sleeping a lot. I had no idea of lay ahead - my six older brothers would give me endless grief and torture.

Aggravating ones younger siblings is one of the finest things about being in a family! I still do this to the present day.

I was just a lonely swimmer among many other swimmers, waiting for my chance at the big swim. Apparently, I won.

Playing evening kid games like kick the can, freeze tag, and war (I was always a sniper hiding up in trees yelling “Got you!”), playing tackle football in the front yard while wearing cheap football team t-shirts and pretending that’s who we were. And snow… praying for snow to cancel school…
