Days you remember...

February 10, 1967 was a rainy Friday. Dad drove me to 401 N Broad. We arrived  at 6:39AM...

Full day of interviews, physicals and a lot of swearing.

By 4PM we were on a train to NC. Arrived late afternoon on Saturday.

And they took a photo!


And my finger prints!


So that's why I remember February 10

Gee, isn’t it funny how differently folks look at an event. Michael, Eddie and I marked 2/10/67 as the day we each got OUR OWN BED!! No sharing socks, underwear, t-shirts, etc. Ahhh what a GREAT day it was. Only 3 of us in 2 rooms then. We felt RICH!! That’s also when Eddie and I made a pact to talk Michael into going AWAY to college so we’d each get OUR OWN BEDROOM. I love it when a plan comes together.
