October
4, 1957. I would have been in the second grade I think at Andrew
Jackson School in San Leandro. That is the day the the Russkies put
Sputnik 1 into orbit, scaring the bejeesus out of all honest,
god-fearing Americans and bringing a new dimension to the cold war. I
actually remember it somewhat. I remember everybody seemed to be
surprised because the Russians were all supposed to be a bunch of
semi-literate peasants. Sometimes the opposition can fool you.
