I was ten in 1958. I recall Sputnik and standing on the beach with a crowd of relatives waiting for it to pass overhead (yes, you could actually see it).

I recall telling my Grade 5 teacher I wanted to be an astronaut and her telling me that girls could be nothing but teachers, nurses, mommies, and if they were too stupid to go to college, secretaries.

That is what I remember about 1958.

I was ten years old in 1958 and was in Den 2 of the Cub Scouts. My dad took us to the range several times to learn shooting skills with .22 rifles. He bought all the ammo, which I think was $2 for a box of 100.
Saturday mornings were spent at the Bill Chickering Theater, watching old serial westerns followed by a feature movie for $.25. Popcorn was $.10.
I spent most of the summer taking Red Cross swimming/life saving at the big pool in Area 1.

I recall Sputnik and standing on the beach with a crowd of relatives waiting for it to pass overhead (yes, you could actually see it).

I'm pretty sure that wasn't sputnik you saw, but rather it's booster rocket.

I wasn’t even a glimmer in my Daddy’s eye in 1958.

I remember Marilyn Vanderber. And the most ugly Chevy ever made.
