Five Craters in the Moon

Let me tell you about five craters in the moon.

1

Came from a poor family

House looked a little better when I lived there, but it was still a poor neighborhood.

With no guidance, I was a confused high school student.

I joined the Air Force after graduation from high school to learn a trade.2WATCHING NEWSREELS

No TV when I was young. Went to movies Saturday afternoon matinees.

Two movies, many cartoons, newsreels, serials.

Newsreels of experimental rockets with cameras showing the view from high altitudes.

Texas theater was my favorite.

Years later, Harvey Oswald was captured here.
