Ah, I was recently remembering that year... I was 16, had finished my school
year in mid June, my first summer romance, sex drugs & rock 'n roll, and by
July 4th, had been grounded for misbehavin'. Records by Peter Frampton
"Frampton Comes Alive" and George Benson's "Breezin" had just been released
and I was spending too much time at a friend's new apartment, pot and beer
and other stuff. The economy was bad, Gerald Ford was a crappie president,
Saturday Night Live and "All the President's Men" was how I viewed the
world. It was my first summer legally working construction and I most recall
digging ditches and erecting scaffolding on a 150-foot church spire we then
dismantled (learned to never put a hammer in my belt, face away from the
building and bend over to pick something up - my crew chief save my life!).
It was framed with 12x12 timbers and each time we yanked on the 6-ft
wrecking bar the whole steeple swayed. Also, played lots of golf and had a
hole in one on July 11 in the West Penn Jr. Championship. Man that was a
summer!

I remember 30 years ago today like it was yesterday. Anybody have any fond
rememberances of the Bicentennial?
By the way Ken, good fathers and sons submission. Hope to see you in Atlanta
and New Orleans...
