The Journal recently celebrated its 56th birthday. Our first issue was twelve pages, dated January 17, 1963. I remember it like it was yesterday, five novices struggling to put together twelve pages – something none of us knew anything about.
For many years I have been a baseball fanatic. I still have the ticket stub from the first game I ever attended. It was a 1946 World Series game at Fenway Park between the Sox and the St. Louis Cardinals.
If your name isn’t in this article, please do not get angry. Trust me, when people age, so does their memory. Do you recall where you were on January 17th, 1962?
