Good Grief, I would have been under the jail somewhere. I reached far beyond the limits of my Gilbert Chemistry set.
The 50’s and 60’s were a period of near total kid freedom to experiment with Darwinian Selection.....

Exactly my thought but my best experiments where in the realm of stinky stuff.
As would I have - messing with polybutadiene and ammonium perchlorate. However, where I went to high school was not far from Thiokol Reaction Motors (a.k.a. Morton Thiokol). Add to that my father’s business trips to White Sands.
