I'm so old I Remember when:

[kikiruru]

When you got on an airplane, you walked out on the tarmac.

And climbed the steep steps stairs to get on and off the plane
At least it was to me as a kid

And climbed the steep steps stairs to get on and off the plane
At least it was to me as a kid

Me too!! I remember the steep climb up and down the stairs into the plane from the runway and the walk to get into the airport. 1960s!

Duck and Cover drills in Elementary School. (In fear of nuclear war).

I have not thought about those in year’ssssss

Living on Mobile Bay Gulf of Mexico and close to Florida

I was to young to understand

Those and monthly testing of the siren.

We have siren alerts on cell phones now

I am so old I remember seeing 2001: A Space Odyssey when it came out in 1968.

This made me think of some movies would still be in theaters for 2 school grade years
right now I can’t think of what they are but I seem to remember more than one

St. Peter and Paul's in Wilmington. I really like the lighting and stained glass window effects.

We spent a good chunk of that trip visiting people, so we didn't go a lot of places.

These photos are simply wonderful. They've made me happy, thank you so much for posting them.

There is no way you could have known this but I was baptized at St. Peter and Paul's in Wilmington. What a crazy coincidence. I spent the first years of my life in one of those English Tudor homes they built in the 1930s by the Banning Museum. I heard endless tales of the many accomplishments of General Phineas Banning, "Father of the Port of Los Angeles."

I remember the community laundry with ringer washing machines and getting my nightly bath in the galvanized was tubs.

Back to my great grandmother house and we took bath in one when we spent the night

I'm glad you like them.

One of my brothers was baptized there too. Last time we went I remember they changed the baptismal fountain. We went there a few times throughout the years.

We went to the Banning Museum once. It was close to the place we took our cars to get fixed, and so we stopped in after dropping one off (I think. We had lots of car issues at the time).

I also remember the horrible traffic going from there to LA county. Whenever we had to pick up a car or drop one off I went with Dad so he could use the carpool lane.

Very bad photo. It used to be much bigger from what I remember.
