More memories you've stirred...
My brother used to build Estes rockets. Lots of 'em. BIG ones. For his 8th grade science project, he sent a mouse by the name of Uri Gregarin (sp?) up into "space" to see how it would affect him. *sigh* The poor mouse didn't last too long after he came back to earth. I think the G forces must have been too much for the little creature.

We grew up... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (eclecticdawn) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/61509 Mon, 05 May 2008 18:18:14 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: My bedroom wall in 1974 ]]> http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/61455/t/My-bedroom-wall-in-1974.html#reply-61455
As my kids grew up, I kept throwing new things at them. We would build rockets then launch them until they blew up, burned up or got lost in a clump of trees. We built simple radios out of a few simple parts. Tumble stones and make jewelry. Build telescopes and microscopes.

In 2003, after my daughter had graduated from Bowling Green, we were driving up I75 from BG to Toledo for a celebration dinner. The night... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (CleRider) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/61455 Sun, 04 May 2008 20:10:27 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: My bedroom wall in 1974 ]]> http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/61448/t/My-bedroom-wall-in-1974.html#reply-61448 Before I started kindergarten, we had a '62 red Beetle!! I remember the white seats, and the back one could fold down, and my brother and I would be able to nap back there when we drove back and forth from Milwaukee to Appleton when my Pa was in the Air National Guard.

I finished all but 1.5 credits in my junior year. I was able to do both my senior classes as "self study", as my teachers knew... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (eclecticdawn) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/61448 Sun, 04 May 2008 19:09:08 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: My bedroom wall in 1974 ]]> http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/61442/t/My-bedroom-wall-in-1974.html#reply-61442
It's great to have a positive impact on the youth. Even though my son is well beyond his Boy Scout days, I'm still a merit badge counsoler in the area. It's an oppourtunity to expose a young mind to a new topic... music, sports, backpacking, canoeing... the list is endless.

My son was exposed to the financial world though the Personal Finance merit badge. The merit badge counsoler sparked a career as my son majored in Finance and Economics at Bowling... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (CleRider) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/61442 Sun, 04 May 2008 17:46:41 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: My bedroom wall in 1974 ]]> http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/61375/t/My-bedroom-wall-in-1974.html#reply-61375 Thank you for sharing this insight into your "world"! I've also been very lucky to be surrounded by creative people in my life, and have had a few brushes with some great ones over the years. I think adults sometimes forget the effect they can have on just a chance meeting or discussion with a child. We can be an inspiration or we can unthinkingly scar them. I think my life would feel so empty with having a... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (eclecticdawn) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/sreply/61375 Sat, 03 May 2008 11:48:21 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: My bedroom wall in 1974 ]]> http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/reply/61307/t/My-bedroom-wall-in-1974.html#reply-61307
Pam is still a cutie. I'm lucky enough to see her about once a week. We walk our dogs at a park on Sunday morning.

Unfortunately, the picture was taken with a cheap camera and lacks the detail. Much was also lost during the scanning process.

Thanks so much for posting, not just the picture, but also your memories and history of the moments surrounding the creations.

First the person... my little sister Pam. I was 15 when she was born. By the time she was 2, my father lived in the bottom of a vodka bottle and I was her father figure. Pam was 12 when my daughter was born, with Jessica and Pam thinking of each other as sisters rather than aunt-niece.

The orange blob above her head is a picture of a bunch of hippies... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (CleRider) http://hondashadowacetourer.yuku.com/topic/8713 Thu, 01 May 2008 11:41:41 GMT
