My wife's grandmother moved from Colorado to MT in a Conestoga, and took her first airplane ride, ever, on a jet to our wedding in Anchorage in 1978 at the age of 82.

A friend went to one of his neighbor's place to watch Armstrong walk on the moon. Frank had the only color TV in town, the other two being B&W. Frank blew up, claiming it was "Another government lie- that guy is just walking around in Arizona someplace, so they can raise our taxes! It's a GD Government Lie!"

His wife, quietly knitting nearby said, "That's what you said about television, Dear".
