I think I 'm getting to be too old for this.

[Road Scholar]

I must not be a good conversationalist either, especially with young folks. I guess because I am so effing old, so please bear with me.

I was a senior in High School in Orlando when I saw JFK on black and white TV when he gave his inaugural speech and said to all of us “Ask not what….” And as a teenager I remember thinking “This guy is really cool”

I remember that same year watching from Edgewater High’s east campus the vapor trail of Alan Shepard’s space craft rise up from Cape Canaveral.

I saw on TV Jon-Jon salute his daddy’s caisson when it rolled by. It was like someone in the family had died. By then everybody felt like JFK’s death was a family loss.I was 20 then.

I saw MLK give his famous “I have a Dream” speech when he gave it. I saw a thousand tear stained faces when they buried their beloved Martin.

I saw Rosy Grier take down Sir-Han Sir-Han after he had just shot RFK.

I’ll be 65 in a week or so, I was married 45 years last month.
Sometimes it seems like I’ve done and seen everything.

I have enjoyed reading your posts and the responses. I’ve tried to join in but like I say, I’m not too good a conversationalist so please don’t be offended.
You may ask me anything, but I might not remember.ha

1. You are not old , you are experienced.

And you are the kind of people that I seek out for great advice because you have been there where I am right now in my life. So hush :hug:

4. Thank you. I guess I've always heard that experience is never

at the mercy of an argument. So, I'll be here with you but I might not be so visible. I do enjoy reading the posts a lot.

5. I'll be 67 in August.

And I don't 'feel' old.
But it's still a bit of a shock to look in the mirror sometimes.
Hang in there.
:hi:

6. Looks like you are doing a fine job of introducing yourself and

reminiscing. Nicely written.
