Back then the internet was virtually non-existent but you connected to certain services like AOL through phone modems. Screeching, clicking, buzzing sounds. I remember thinking how cool it was to be able to make airline reservations by connecting directly to their reservation systems.

 

I am not a Vet, but I am the son and grandson of Vets. My grandfather was a Vet of WWI and I remember seeing his toes at a young age where his big toes were curved over the next toe. He told me, when he was drafted into the Army he stood in line to get his uniform and they just handed him a pair of boots. The boots were too small for his feet so his toes grew that way. Now I don't know if that was true or not, it seems plausible, but then I thought; why not trade with someone who had smaller feet with larger boots? Maybe that was not an option.
