In the early 70's I stood on the bank of the Indian River and watched one of the Apollos lift off, supposedly for the moon.
I have a picture around here somewhere of my maternal grandfather with General Doolittle. I think the picture was made in Alaska but I'm not sure. They're dressed warmly and wearing those Russian-type hats.
My paternal grandmother's second husband helped push General Patton's jeep out of the mud when it became stuck. Instead of sitting in the jeep like most generals would have done the bastard got out and helped push.
My great great grandfather was in the American Civil War on the Confederate side. His regiment forded a river, and a wet uniform combined with the measles was the death of him I was told.
