Blast From the Past

November 1980. I'm 2nd from left on back row. Yes, it is the graduating class, #80-41, Eastern Airlines, Miami, FL. To be based in New York. Seems like a lifetime ago. There were Rubik's Cubes and Sony Walkmans. Within a month, John Lennon would be murdered in NYC. Maybe it was a sign to keep out. By January, Reagan was president and was shot by John Hinkley in March. Later on Pope Paul II was wounded in an assasination attempt, and there was an Air Traffic Controller strike, and a seven week baseball strike, and the first test tube baby was born. Wow.
