So! You bought a 270 How interesting 😁😁

I was 1.

I was 12 and I wasn’t thinking about buying a 270! If you know what I mean!!

10th grade.

I was 9 going on 10 in Northern BC . We were just getting wound up for a lifetime of fishing trips, fighting and a whole lot of unforgettable memories . We used to sneak into the show on Friday evening using 1/2 of a used ticket discarded on the ground.

The Guns of Navarone , Phsyco , The Victors saw em' all for free.

Sticking forks in light sockets and running with scissors. Age 3.

North Idaho Children's Home in Lewiston, I turned 6 that summer.

Working swing shift at johns manville.

Damn you guys are old. I was -19

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 .
Kenneth

West Palm Beach Florida, I the hospital, being born!
6 months later we moved to Ohio.

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.

StarchedCover

Naval Air Facility in Adak, AK. It was cold.

in a warm, safe environment. waiting to be born.

born March, 1963

8th grade in "62 ..My first real summer job at a small municipal airport South of Wheeling WV...Mostly field maintenance, FOD, mowing and hangar gofer..Earned enough to pay for some gas to go flying on occasion and bought my first 220 Swift for whistle pigs..

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.

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.

Hmm, I meant this as a music thread. It's good at any rate, thanks heaps all.

Sophomore year of HS in La Crosse Wisconsin.

Great music in this thread - thanks, i enjoyed them...

As you know, all music was good in 1962! GD

Fall or 62 started my Senior Year in HS, a year later was in boot camp at Parris Island.

Negative numbers aren't exactly a new math concept

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.

Just moved to north Utah that year. My father was transferred to a defense contractor rocket factory. Started 5th grade. Had to fight the worst bully at my new Mormon dominated elementary school the first day. Luckily for me I didn't know he couldn't be whipped and he was hollering for mercy in about 2 minutes. At least I wasn't picked on the next couple of years there, just kind of shunned as a gentile. I did get elected class sheriff after 3 tied ballots. Beat a Mormon girl.

Lessee. . . I was 4.

For some reason, this stuck in my head from back then:



I had taken over the family 45 record player. That was probably my top play



On TV, I was totally hooked on Sea Hunt, which by then was already in syndicated re-runs.

From Lewis Grizzard's I Haven't Understood Anything Since 1962...:

"I had a handle on things in 1962...I'd never heard of Vietnam in 1962...I didn't know that eating fried foods was bad for me...Arnold Palmer was still winning golf tournaments...Sandy Koufax was still pitching for the Dodgers...I had a pretty blond girlfriend...The best thing on television was 'Gunsmoke'...Miss Kitty was a good businessperson, but she wasn't pushy and could accept a compliment from a man without charging him with sexual harassment...I slept well in 1962...But the very next year, somebody shot the President...Then the Beatles came...Then all hell broke loose..."

actually whelenman, I have 2....want to buy one?

I wasn't born until 1964.

Was 4 in Golden, Colorado, exploring the neighborhood at the base of table mountain.

1962 I was living in Santa Barbara, Calif.

LW.

I was out the womb.....but that's it

3rd grade in Eastern az mining town

I was in Hawaii

Hmm, 1962? I was in the U.S.A.F. stuck at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas. Worst place they could have stuck me. Even ugly chicks were hard to get unless you had money and in 62, an E2 didn't have much money. Ended up with a girl who said she was 19. Had an accident and got married. Turned out she's lied about her age and it was get married or go to jail. I got married. That lasted all of 5 years, Didn't see her again until last year when my granddaughter got married. The ex had turned onto shapeless blob and looked like Jabba the Hut. Guess I could call that my great escape. The only good part of duty at Nellis was the TDY at Indian Springs, just a short drive to Lathrop Wells on payday. Did one three moth tour at Springs in 62 and another in 63 just before I got shipped out to Korea. Life got real interesting after that.

Kindergarten.

Not me! 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

I had forgotten what a great movie this is, turns out Kaywoodie was running the press in Shinbone back then, who knew?

Fortunately he bounced back from that beatdown real good.

I wasn't even a though in my parents mind. You bastard are old.

I will tune up some Chuck Berry though. Good stuff.

1962 ?

A twinkle in my Dad’s eye ... Born a couple years after 62.

I turned 3 in March of 1962. The potty training was probably just starting to take. Mom always said I was a little resistant.

All I rememberfrom that little episode was hearin’ someone say, "That was my steak, Birdie!"

Edit. My fav movie from ‘62 was "Hatari!" Saw it on a trip to Austin down on Congress ave.

In 62 I was 16 yrs old, in high school without a care in the world. Viet Nam was not a thought and I had probably never heard of it. Four years later I was there!

In my mommy's belly waiting to be born in 63.....

Great picture jnyork, I have never seen a KB-50 you must have joined the USAF right out of high school!

I was still in the oven. Born in 63.

I was 16 in 1962, thinking of girls and cars. Life was simple.

13, in a Catholic boys high school, taught by the Christian Brothers of Ireland. Those years there helped form me into the man I became.
