Reply #89: A short recap:

[Ptah]

When we (three brothers and one sister) were young,
we would be awake at 3 or 4 in the morning.
We saw Alan Sheppard's first ride.
On May 5, 1961.

We watched as Walter Cronkite explained as best he could, the scientific
adventure that was happening.

(remember B&W TV?)

anyhow, twenty-five years (to the day) after the first
Aerican was launched into space, my younger brother
died in a traffic accident.

I hate Cinco de Mayo, and it is not an ethnic thing.

Again, Shell Beau, I am sorry to learn of your loss.


'toyng' realy is 'young'
