But old enough to remember when they were first replaced by God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit?

I can date myself be relating a vicarious memory. If I last until 1943 with these posts I will insert some family history concerning an uncle who was an 8th AAF B-17 navigator. After the war (spoiler alert - he survived) he stayed in and switched to the new Air Force. His background was math and physics so he worked on space programs. My older cousin remembers visiting his dad’s work site after school, one of the aerospace plants in So. Cal., and meeting the Mercury astronauts. He got a thrill out of that I can tell you. At least I think it was Mercury. The cousin told me the story for the first time just a few years ago at a reunion.
