Christmas '78 I was home on leave from Ft. Campbell, KY. 2nd duty station.

Get off my lawn, youngster!

If you were 12 in 1978 you are too young for this thread. I have underwear older than you. In fact, I'm wearing them right now!

Our family had a '48 Pontiac Straight-Eight with 3 on the tree. The first car I ever drove. That sure brings back memories.
