Space shot (Re: (meteorobs) 50th Anniversary of the Space Age!) - 41 Years since the launch of LG!!

[FELIX A MARRTINEZ]

Happy Birthday Lew, glad You were born!  Now we can welcome You to the
well over 40 Club.  Can still remember You as a nine-year old when I was
a teenager during those long-ago days of Our Youth in South Florida!!! 
For many years I enjoyed so much showing my Students the very
inspirational Movie  "October Sky."  This was a good day remembering
Sputnik and the advent of Our Space Age!
