Laurence's Story

I still have my copy of the 1954 Clipper; if you'd like a copy of your photo I'll scan it & email it to you. Military I was in the Air Force from Feb. 1956 to Jan 1960. Was stationed at Pinecastle AFB when the name was changed to McCoy AFB. When I requested transfer to Thule AFB for one year I was transferred to Stansted AFB in England and then to Leicester AFB for the rest of my enlistment. While at Stansted the base commander had to fly to Naples, Italy & asked if anybody wanted to go for the weekend. I got to see Pompeii before they restricted what the tourists could see. Another time some of us were invited to go to Wiesbaden, Germany. I got lost in the city & thought my very poor college German would help. Not! I took a paddle wheel steamer up the Rhine River from Wiesbaden to Koblenz and then a train back. During a stop at a small town along the way I looked up a hilly street and saw, from the back, a friend from High School, I called out to her, she did not turn around so I ran up the street; but, she ...Expand for more
turned a corner and disappeared. Was it her? Was it not? I'll never know. We also went past the Lorelei, I didn't hear the siren song. Or maybe the girl in the small town was my unattainable siren. While stationed at Leicester A.B. I was challenged to taste the difference between Coke & Pepsi. I was a Coke drinker so, blindfolded, I was able to taste the difference. That was in 1959 long before the advertising agency thought of it. After 4 years in the Air Force. I had plans on becoming an engineering physicist; unfortunately, when I got to Analytic Geometry my brain turned into mush. 1963 to 1969: I worked as a Math Aide helping design the orbits for the Gemini and Apollo projects. I wound up as a portrait photographer for 18 years followed by selling promotional advertising products since 1988. The smartest thing I ever did was joining the Air Force; because, I now can use the VA for medical care. August 2010 No more hiking I've developed arthritis in my right hip & knee. Got a new hip in January 2011.

I may have posted this a few years ago. If you were to move the Earth closer to the Sun the size difference would be very apparent.
We had a Fouth of July party at my building so I made a Chedder Sweet Corn Pie. It was new recipe for me; but, it was all eaten & enjoyed by all. I got it from recipesfiber.com. The date is cut out of slices of the cheese.
I always see photos of large flowers, so how about the gresses flowers.
I noticed that I had a small jar of almond extract, I've had it for some time and have forgotten why I bought it to begin with. So I decided to go online and find a recipe that uses almond extract. I found a recipe for a cr

Fresh baked Irish soda bread, how about 15 minutes prep, 40 minutes in the oven.
Couldn't resist. A neighbor had this outside their door.
First bloom.
I was out for a walk this afternoon and heard a clunking noise, I looked up and saw a crow bouncing a small plastic cup obviously trying to get inside. After a minute or two a second Crow came up they change places and the
Waiting for the bus yesterday and saw my shadow with the bus stop sign. The ground covered with Leaf litter. All those leaves came down like a shower the day before.
