What we have here is an online
scrapbook with photos and memorabilia from my life along with some
world
events
that were happening at the same time. The
Reason for this page? Well at first it was going to be
a simple scrapbook of pics and stories, but then it
became important to me to go back and find out what was going on
around me while I was busy living my life, particularly in my
younger years. I don't expect that any of this will be of much
interest to anyone outside of my descendants and possibly not even
them. Nevertheless I've decided to start this little project now
(2007) and it will be an ongoing adventure as I add more and more
content over time. Whether it ever is completed or not is up to a higher power.

The
Year
World
Events
Not too much to report for
1952. I was in the dark for about 9 months of the year and then, just in
time to be a tax deduction, I was brought, kicking and screaming, into the
light on December 30th
1952
The Tuskegee Institute (Tuskegee Alabama) reports 1952 as
the 1st
year in the last 71 with no lynchings recorded in the United States
"Well, not exactly the dawning of the age of
Aquarius, but it's a start I guess...."
Recall
is kinda fuzzy for most all of this year too. Sleeping, eating and
pooping was about it. If it wasn't for the pics my parents took we could
skip over this one too.
