47 Years Ago Today....

[ezdays]

You know BIL, your story kind of got my memory juices flowing and I too now remember a connection. As I said, I do remember where I was when I hear this news. I was working for a large company in Phoenix and we were in the cafeteria eating lunch. There was a TV set there and the news didn't seem to phase several others around me, they just continued their conversation and kept eating, as if nothing significant had happened. I was somewhat taken back by their attitude, but that was all I remembered until your story. I now remember that I did get a call that we should not go to work, and since there was nothing else on TV but that (no cable TV, just a few network channels), I bought an HO kit to build, just to keep busy. That, I guess, was my first introduction to model railroading. I remember taking the structure with me when we moved, but I can't remember what ever happened to it past that since it was many years later before I actually started on a layout.
