Interesting facts:) Thanks for sharing. They had emails in 1976??
ReplyDeleteInteresting indeed. But yeah, I was wondering about the 1976 date as well.
ReplyDeleteNo, it'll be right. Military internet.
ReplyDeleteBTW I'd like to thank her for the very nice card she sent my grandparents on their 60th wedding anniversary. (They really did appreciate it, more than half the other nice things we did for them).
P.S. It was GREAT to see you on Thursday! ? Or was it Friday? Anyway post a picture! Post a picture!
