I was in the hospital with an expired kaiser card and a re attached leg and 8 more broken vertebre and various other broken bones trying to explain to the doctor (who was jewish) why I needed to have at least a maintenance level of alcohol every day to go along with my morphine and.... to please ignore the ss tats.

Just curious how this would happen is all.

I was 13 during the Blizzard of '78, remember it well. Many coastal towns suffered severe tidal surges, killed several people.... plus, as Captain Virgil says, all that snow had to go somewhere when it melted. It was a bad storm, we were out of school for 2 weeks.

I'll never know. I was 3 years 4 months old. Only child with a single mother who has since passed... I'd like to think we went and saw the parade a few blocks away, and the fireworks, but I recall a bit as a kid I was scared of fireworks for a while.

Oh well, a milestone of our "generation" but I don't remember it.

I made my first solo flight on July 4th, 1976 in a Piper Cherokee 140 (N6864W). I hadn’t even thought about it until I saw this thread – I should have gone up to the old airfield to make a commemorative flight!

I was in Revere, not quite 13 yet(april), and yes, a major tidal surge. It was a full moon combined with a very high tide and storm surge. Our street was 6 feet under the sea. We spent over a month at a hotel by the airport(the old ramada on 1A).

Probably making good use of the diaper i was wearing, as well as spraying puke on, and laughing at people as they made goo goo, ga ga noises at a 1 year old.
