August 27 — An Anniversary That Is Only Important To I (2020 Edition).
Click to ENLARGE.
Adoptive Parents got married August 27, 1952 (68-years ago).
I have spent TOO much time in the U.S.
I try to mark this day, viz., August 27, every year with a post. To be honest it is only meaningful to I and I am the only one that cares,
Wow. I left Ceylon 53-years ago. As I get older the percentage of my life I spent in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) shrinks.
Left from Katunayake Airport which in 1967 was pretty small — just one, ‘one-room’ building. Quite a few people came to see us off. It was night. I think the flight left around 9pm. We left on a Pan Am 707. My first time in a jet — though I had flown quite a bit on DC-3s. I had always liked the 707 and it is still one of my favorite planes today. First stop, for a day, for Athens, Greece.
44-years, to the day, I walked into IBM! Wow. Much water has flowed under the bridge in Romsey.
P.S., Lord Mountbatten’s assassination was on August 27 — in 1979. I was still at Hursley and remember it well.
