Kids today

Hard to believe, but there it is: 42 years ago Monday, this biker fellow, shown at about 4 on my old BSA 250 in Arlington, was born at Ft. Belvoir VA.  He's still racing -- bicycles as well as cars in the "24 Hours of Lemons" races held here and there.

And then 35 years ago today at Wake Medical Center, this tractor girl, shown at about 11, was born. She's still moving about the countryside, more in cars than on 14-horse tractors.

 Both are flying in this weekend for an annual family reunion.

Happy Birthday, John and Mary!
