I was born in 1937. When Sputnik hit space I was in the Army at Ft. Devins, MA. they woke us up early and sent us outside to see Sputnik make a pass. They then got us together and tried to scare us to death with talk of missiles etc. I was too sleepy to be overly impressed. Hi I do recall an instant demand across the country for more science courses in schools etc. 73, Archie, K4GA _______________________________________________ RTTY mailing list RTTY@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/rtty |
