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?
