50 Years Ago - 1957 –
I made my first trip to NY to interview for an Engineering job at IBM in Poughkeepsie. But visiting the famous Birdland Jazz club in NYC was what it was really all about. http://www.birdlandjazz.com
(Ended up with strep throat and almost hospitalized in Manhattan)
Graduated from St. Louis U.
Entered the Army and took basic training at Fort Leonard Wood in July-August. hot,hot, hot!
In the fall the Asian Flu swept the country. At Ft. Leonard Wood many switchboard operators were out with the flu so I volunteered for switchboard duty. "Post Exchange?"
Eisenhower ordered the 101 Airborne to prevent violence at a high school being desegregated in Arkansas.
The Dodgers moved to L.A.
The Soviet Union launched Sputnik
AND .....the Edsel arrived and flopped
p.s. 2007
The Post Disptach reported that there are over 70 million Blogs. They suggested we use "conversation" instead. But the opposite is happening. Facebook is a social networking web site which was launched in 2004 and has become very popular. You see faces as well as text and get to associate with your friends and friends of your friends.
