Helping to gather wood for a camp fire on the river with dad and some of his buddies . Dipping spawning suckers running the creeks .
Man those fish eggs were some kind of good , not to mention the suckers were like salmon cakes , some good eating in those days .
Haven't seen anybody dip net fish in a long time . Don't think they even run the creeks anymore .
Will have to look into it and see what happened to that .

Just a kid at Otis AFB, MA. My dad was on EC-121's "Warning Star" ; the predecessor to E-3's.
I used to watch those loud old planes lumber into the sky as they passed right near base housing; there were a few didn't come back as they dropped into the Atlantic Ocean.
As things heated up in Cuba, they were lots of missions and then he was sent TDY to McCoy AFB, FL to be closer to Cuba (more time on station).
I remember his flight gear(B4 bag) sitting by the front door, my mom and I taking him to the flight line for the preflight briefing and later see them take off.
Yes, I do remember 1962.

I was 4 years old and we lived in a two room cabin at a sawmill camp where Hank's Creek runs into Horsefly Creek in what is now unit 61 in Colorado.

I was a 12 year old kid, living in a logging camp at Cold Springs Creek,on the north fork of the Clearwater river, in Idaho. Everyday, the question was the same; where to fish today? Good times for a kid. GD

I was 9, going on 10, and loved the Radio!, especially the small Transistor Radio with the "private ear phone", no parents to deal with then, ha. smile

1st grade. Waverly Park elem. on westside of Ft. Worth. Dad worked at the Convair/ General Dynamics plant.

In our neighborhood your dad was either working there or was stationed at Carswell. My two buds, two doors down, dad was a B-58 pilot.

I was either less than a year old, a year old exactly, or a little over a year old, depending on which point in 1962 we're talking about.
