Nope, he was always on an air base in the Pacific (Barber Point, P.I., Guam, Diego Garcia(I think), and Whidby Island. Worked on avionics systems. He wants to move back to Whidby.
Oh, and Okinawa too.
We used shaving soap and a block of Alum. The alum makes the soap harden and it holds the flat-top straight
At 64 I got them all right, My only objection to answers is that it was the '47 Studebaker not the '46 the '46 was still rounded like the pre-war cars or the 47 Ford. The '47 was the first of the new style....we called the '54 sedan a "smiling Jap" because of the front.
I missed three of them (5, 13, and 19) and I'm proud that I didn't know #13. :-)
I'm 52 and most of these brought back pretty good memories. Thanks!
Very good. I'm also 58 and got only 17 correct.
A mind is a terrible thing!
Multiple Cheaters? Thought that was par for a 58 year old. From where I'm setting in front of the computer I can see 4 sets not counting the ones I'm wearing.
Heck, I didn't start wearing glasses until 55...still don't wear them most of the day...can't get used to them....if my arms were 2 inches longer, wouldn't bother with the cheaters...don't need glasses for the PC yet, but time is against me...
My 4th grade math teacher drove a Studebaker - never really liked the things because of it. Missed 4 - who would know Caroline's horse's name?
My memory tells me that light dimmers stayed on the floor until the late 60's and early 70's. My '72 Chevy Blazer had its dimmer on the floor, I'm sure.
I saw it in a Life magazine, a picture of her on her horse with the caption giving the horse's name. I was in the fourth grade when Kennedy was assassinated, and this was before that. I have absolutely no idea why I remembered it, except I remember (1) being envious because she had a horse, and (2) thinking if I had a horse, I'd name it Scout (I always liked Tonto better than the Lone Ranger). I've always been great at remembering goofy, non-essential things that will never make me any money or do me any good.
Got 16 right, am the BIG 50 now.
