I Was At Work Christmas Eve In 1968!
I was lucky enough to work on the Apollo Program and knew these folks (at least to talk to and work with while they were in Downey). I worked on their space machine (Apollo Command and Service Modules). I was … Continue reading
Talk To Me!
As I had mentioned previously, Ralph Lebowitz, my Dad’s boss, was an amazingly generous man. He was aware that I loved American Flyer trains and came to see the layout at our home. One Christmas Eve, our family went to … Continue reading
Happy Birthday Paul, 81 Today!

Call The Fire Department!

Ugly With a Capital UGH
Christmas Memories: Mom was always artistic and perhaps what todaywe would call “avant-garde”. It is Christmas time in 1956, and I am ready to come home from school, wait for Dad to get home, and then go out and pick … Continue reading
A Long Standing Tradition
