Question
When i was going to college I worked for a band (Human switchboard) and every once in awhile I search them on ebay just to see what their records are going for.
Today I found this auction: Human Switchboard record and when I looked at the second photo This kind of bizarre-ly odd feeling came over me when I realized I had written that little insert for the album 23 years ago! Actually, I didn't remember it at all and then I realized "Hey that looks like my writing" and it all came back to me how someone in the band asked me to do it because I had the best printing.
I dunno, just weird to see something you wrote half-a-lifetime ago in an auction on ebay!
OK, resume whatever you were doing! http://community.here.com/infopop/em...icon_smile.gif

Know exactly what you are saying!
This popped up in a google search on me one day fromthe University Archives website::
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> Neil Armstrong
A unique and historic archive of Neil Armstrong including a space related typed letter, an ANS, a candid signed photo and a pen, the only one we have ever seen, used by the world's most famous astronaut.
Archive . n.d . n.p
A fabulous collection of items pertaining to Neil Armstrong, obtained by a then 17 year old prospective Eagle Scout, Ken Dayton, all documented inthe July/August 1999 issue of American Heritage magazine. Dayton was working towards his Space Exploration badge, but was disappointed when his Troop leader informed him that there were no certified counselors to sign off on it. His leader sarcastically suggested he get an astronaut to be his counselor. Dayton then drove 150 miles through Ohio, directly to Armstrong's farm and requested his services as a counselor, which Armstrong amazingly accepted. For the next 30 minutes, Dayton gave his presentation in Armstrong's driveway. Upon finishing, Armstrong asked for Dayton to send all his finished materials to his office at the University for his final review. These items in this lot come from this occasion: a one page TLS dated August 31, 1973. Armstrong signed off on Dayton's requirements. In part, "Scout Ken Dayton has appeared before me to demonstrate his completion of the 'Space Exploration' badge. I am not a certified counselor and cannot legally affirm Mr. Dayton's competence...In my opinion, he has completed all requirements satisfactorily." Accompanied by the origianl mailing envelope, a 3x5 lined ANS, a color glossy 5x3.5 snapshot of Armstrong in his driveway, both of which are mentioned and shown in the article, and a complete issue of the July/August American Heritage magazine.
