Heh...yeah, I have to admit, it was a lot easier to rhyme '79..."We are tough, we lay it on the line, we're the class of '79".

Now all you 80's young 'uns should quiet down so grandpa can get back to sleep.

---- "Wherever you go, there you are"

We batted that around in our journalism class that year. The best one that anyone came up with was "Partyin' hard, havin' babies, we're the class of 1980". The girl who thought that up was always coming up with things like that. She gave the whole class nicknames, most of which remain unprintable.
Then again, to me, "partyin' hard" meant staying out until midnight after a football game.

You guys are doing this just to make me feel old. Class of 1966 here.

When people ask me what it was like before electricity was discovered, I alway tell them that in my day, we had to watch TV by candlelight.

Heh...yeah, I have to admit, it was a lot easier to rhyme '79..."We are tough, we lay it on the line, we're the class of '79".

Mere puppies.

Hilliard (OH) Class of 1969. "69 is Fine" was our class motto. Not sure if the high school class ever got the reference. After all, we were teenagers and invented everything!

Staring 55 in the eye (and I think it blinked - must have been the beer...)

Chas

I was staring 44 in the eye and it started drooling and nodded off. Is this a good sign?

WoW!

Chas Russell! I saw your name tons of times while I was growing up in my rocketry world....I must say it is actually an honor having you jump in on this thread....

Now it only Jon Robbins would be around or found somewhere talk to me about Groundhogs, my life would be complete....

My dad first presented me with an issue of George Flynn's Model Rocketry in 1969, and the rest, as they say is history... I absorbes everything I could, and remember a LOT of names I consider Famous.....

Pardon the misspellings and such, things are really busy around here at the moment.

Great to meet more and more of the folks I grew up knowing in one way or another...

Class of '74 here. My six-year-old son asked me the other night what it was like before there was television. He thought that I grew up in the days when there was only radio. I told him that my parents grew up in the radio-only days... but then I realized that when my dad was born (1915) and for several years after that, commercial radio hadn't even been invented yet.

I'm 48, almost 49, btw, and I dread the upcoming years of teenage angst, considering how angsty my 9-year-old son is already. And by the time my 4-year-old son is no longer a teenager (in the year 2022), I'll be... almost 65, for crying out loud.

Boy, I'm tired.
