In a galaxy far, far away....

Remember observation decks at airports?

I was reading in my mother's 1957 diary about how the whole family traveled from Lancaster to LaGuardia to see a cousin take off for Switzerland. It was a very big deal! And as the plane was late - (even in '57!) - we had lots of time to be out watching the planes, landing and taking off. We spent hours there and it was pure entertainment. We thrilled as the plane finally took off in the darkening sky.

Wow. There are just so many things that make that scenario seem like it should be in a history book instead of my life!
