Okay, okay, being the senior member of this blogspot, I'll do some follow up on the first blog --even though it will illicit [more] unwelcome comments regarding my age.

I remember when Dwight Eisenhower was President.
Home phones used to have party lines where neighbors could listen to everyone's business
New in this day and age is the highest speed on a car speedometer --used to be 80
Disposable diapers --- I think Dan was the only one which got to use them and I was so glad to have them but now cloth diapers are coming back in the LDS culture as part of preparedness.
Digital cameras
Cell phone cameras
Dehydrated food and mixes -- everything used to be cooked from scratch
I remember the day that John F. Kennedy was assassinated. I was in gym class in high school.
Lots of medical advances -- we're grateful Hadley wasn't born a generation ago. Amazing -- successful heart surgery on an 8 month old; and many other advances in other areas.
Temples are dotting the earth and the gospel is rolling forth
There are so many more but duty calls. I'll try to be more original in the next post.

I'm not saying anything. But why didn't you mention your high school class president, Thomas Jefferson, and that cool Declaration thingee he wrote.

Yep, the Declaration thingee turned out pretty well. It was an honor to be able to edit the thing!!
