I have so many memories, but one that comes to mind right now is my first day in 1st grade. After the nun told us some of the things we would learn that year, I raised my hand and said, "I don't think I need to be in this class, because I already know all of these things". The nun said, "Well I think there are still a few things I can teach you". Brilliant Kevin. I have so many memories, but one that comes to mind right now is my first day in 1st grade.

I took swimming lessons with my mom in Mesa, AZ. I think I might have been 2 years old. I've always been a water baby. Diving for rings in the swimming pool.

Thanks for the memories. One of my earliest memories is playing with my cousin while our moms sit on packing crates nearby, ice fishing, then later, watching my grandmother put whale blubber into the coal stove. I can still hear the blubber sizzle as it hits the fire. How interesting! Thanks for the memories.

In those days, we were told to stand under a doorway during a 'quake. I remember looking out at the street and watching the sidewalk rippling. Behind me in our living room, my grandmother and great aunt were holding each other on a vibrating couch. My earliest memory was the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in San Francisco.
