What's OLD?

Were you born 3 weeks after THE BEATLES released their White Album? Were you born 10 days before Apollo 8 saw the dark side of the Moon for the 1st time? Were you born 5 days after the very first PC (personal computer)was introduced? Imagine being born in the same year as the very first heart transplant was performed! The year Vince Lombardi retired, Richard Nixon was elected. Wheels were invented, just checkin to make sure you're still reading this. Imagine being as old as THE WHO album, Tommy. 40 years ago on December 14th what were you doing when you got the news that you were an uncle? Her name was Christine. According to Mother, "The cutest baby I ever saw!"

I remember it too. I went to a 76ers game with some Apache's teammates and our coach, Mr. Stackhouse. When I got home and walked in the front door of 4918 "D" St. there was a banner hanging between the living room and dining room, "IT'S A GIRL"! I think Mother and Dad were having a few celebratory cocktails.
Happy Birthday Christine.

BTW, Susan never played for the Apache's. That comment was from Eduardo.

Happy Birthday again, Christine!
