All I remember about '76 was going to see a great July 4 fireworks display at Ft Lauderdale beach for the bicentennial celebration. They had barges achored out on the water launching them off.

I was then doing a co-op term at Barringer Research in Toronto, building prototype analog circuitry (lots of precision op-amps) for a proton precession magnetometer used in aerial mapping for finding oil. My soundtrack was progressive rock and I dismissively eschewed all else. I was about 2 years away from meeting my wife, who would introduce me to Pentax (I had a lowly Praktica LTL at the time). She had a pre-Spotmatic, may it rest in piece. -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
