I was hoping he would be a regular guy. So many people these days are complete phonies.
Sounds like you had a very interesting childhood.
Okay, I’m jealous!
Not really, mine was pretty interesting too, just not in the same way.
What’s really sad is those types of childhoods are unknown to kids these days. How do we explain to them that we grew up when Honorable Giants strode the earth?

“What’s really sad is those types of childhoods are unknown to kids these days. How do we explain to them that we grew up when Honorable Giants strode the earth?”

Part of the problem is interest, Any and all interest in history has been brainwashed out of them. They have been brainwashed into completely dismissing the past, living day by day in the now, and never look into the future.

But it is about the same in all generations I guess. I kick myself for not documenting some of this history myself. I just took it for granted that my unique associations growing up were about the same for everyone. How unique just never occurred to me at the time, just too busy being a kid...

I look back now and realize I was fortunate to have some unique associations and should have got some interviews and documentation while they were still around so that the history could have been shared later with the few who do care. :)
