I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing 72 years ago today: I was on my GF's front porch on a sunny warm day with my Dad listening to the radio & him being giddy about the NL NY Giants beating heavily-favored,111 wins (of 154 game season) AL Cleveland Indians for the 4th straight time to sweep the World Series. It's first thing I remember of events outside my personnel life. I was six. Since Dad wasn't working, had to be a weekend day & more likely a Saturday as he would have still been umpiring local semi-pro baseball games on Sundays. Their seasons ran till late Oct. & even into early Nov. a couple of times.
Now year older DW remembers being all upset about the 1952 political conventions being on TV & ruining her watching her kids TV programming. Her Dad would be described as a techie today & they had a TV early on.
Have a nice day.
