"OBJECTS ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR"

KITTY HAWK 1903

SEVERAL HISTORICAL EVENTS WERE NOT THAT LONG AGO.

 *In 1955 the Civil War ended just 90 years ago

 *Wright Bros. first flight 52 years prior to 1955

 *WW I ended just 37 years prior to 1955
 
 *Lindberg Atlantic flight 28 years before 1955

 *WW II ended just 10 years before 1955

 *Korean Armistice signed 2 years before 1955

History did not start in 1955; however, we were not too far removed from many of the important events in U.S. history. I think most of us failed to appreciate this in 1955!

Somehow aging seems to bring me closer to the past!
