Re: the age gauge

Know Mr. Banana George Blair?... Yes I do!.. Never had the pleasure of sking with him, but have met with him at a few tournaments during my brief "career"..<br /><br />Still ticks me off that a 90 year old man can barefoot circles around my sorry butt... :p :D :p <br /><br />Thanks for the update on George, Sanger.. I've been away from kneeboarding and sking for a long time, but every so often I get that "I wonder whatever happend to" about a select few like Banana George.. It makes me happy to see that he's still at it.. 90.. Wow!.. :)

Interesting, Hawaii wasn't a state when Sputnik was launched.

Re: the age gauge

Great site, thanks for the link. I was born before Hawaii was admitted, but only just barely.<br /><br />I would have sworn that Animal House preceded Star Wars!
