If you have any childhood memories that make you feel fond, you're welcome to post them here

I'll do the honors of starting off...........


As an elementary kid, I came across Captain Commando & he became my childhood hero as a result of me playing Marvel Vs. Capcom: Clash of Super-Heroes on my Sega Dreamcast

I obviously have a lifetime full of memories, at each "stage" of my life.

Childhood in Temple, Texas. Junior and Senior high in El Paso. 3 years in the Air Force and the travels associated with that.

After that, a few years in the auto industry in Detroit. A year with AT&T. The Detroit Riots of '67. Being on the bum during the Hippie era, hanging around Plum Street, and having girls panhandling for us to raise beer, food and drug money - and being available for all the sex we wanted, lol. Yes, "Those were the days," :rofl:

Going to Alaska and working in the bush. 3 years in Spain and getting rolled by 6 black hookers in London (told somewhere on the board.) More time in Spain. Then back to Alaska, at Cape Lisburne up on the northwest coast. Nikolski out the chain toward Shemya and Adak. There was a lot of military activity in that area during WWII, and are still some WWII relic sites.

Then about 6 months of traveling around the country by motorcycle, meeting hot babes and enjoying life. From Seattle east to Deadwood, South Dakota, Sturgis, and points east. Meeting my future wife in Detroit. moving on to LA, where I got into Aerospace on Black (classified) projects, as a radio communications technician. From there to Denver, because of a DUI I got in LA, and everyone here has heard me brag about the Magellan Project. 7 years after that in the Thermal Vacuum Chamber Lab, and finally retirement.

And, here I am.
I can resist everything except temptation.

As an elementary child, I was introduced to Resident Evil (one of my favorite videogame franchises) as a result of watching my brother play a rented N64 copy of Resident Evil 2 from Blockbuster

I fondly remember having my stuffed animal frog, Fuzzy Frog being given to me as a gift in 5th grade by family friends
