Where was the 763rd, Les? That number sounds familiar. I spent my three
and a half years ('61-65) at the Washington Air Defense Sector (WAADS) at
Fort Lee, Va. and it sounds like it was one of ours.

Seems a lifetime ago. :-)

Psssst. As one old fart to another, 54 years IS a lifetime to many people.
Sometimes, I tell these young farts, "I've got shoes older than you."

I was five in 1953, so you got a few on me.

'48 was a good year, me too.
That was when I started in the electrical trade - step and fetch and
hold the light for my Dad.

London, Canada

About 13 years later for me.
I helped my dad placing boxes for his electrical work from the time I
was 8. Decided NOT to follow in the old man's footsteps though and
started my Automotive apprenticeship when I turned 16. Got my licence
in March '72, before my 20th birthday.
