My problem is that my sister has all the family photos, and she is not
available at the moment.  So I can only date by events I remember.  I did
confirm with my brother that he had a magician for his 4th birthday party,
so that takes me back to 2 years, 1.5 months (and my brother back from 5 to
4 on his memory).  I don't think I can push it back any further without
having a dated picture to tie the memory to.

One intersting memory is that of a delta wing fighter (F102 Convair) flying
*extremely* low over our home.  I figure that it was heading for the Long
Beach airport - test flight out of Edwards AFB?

I also vividly remember the first time I saw the house and street again
as a teenager, and realizing that obviously hills look bigger when
you're small, because the embankment down to the tracks which I
remembered as like ten feet was actually just a couple feet.

My most memorable early memory was when I was about 3. We were on a long
vacation, driving across country, and having a picnic in Yosemite. While
we were eating, a bear wandered into camp. I'm not sure why I wasn't the
first one put back into the van, but I remember standing on top of the
picnic table waiting for my parents to take me to the car. I also
remember watching in fascination as the bear walked right over a man who
was taking a nap on a blanket (darn good thing he didn't wake up).

I definitely have other early memories, such as my father showing up at
a campground near home with a new van (the new van was the one taken
cross country). I also definitely remember the VW van which it replaced.
I think my dad commuted to work from the campground sometimes.

I am suspicious of other early memories because of pictures of them. For
example, I may or may not remember much about my first home, but the two
most vivid images are definitely from pictures.
