Up and Away . . .
Some of you may be too young to remember, but back when Ellie was launched into space in 1972, she was super popular. Beyond super popular. She was everywhere and on everything. She even had a balloon in the Thanksgiving parade that made quite a news story back in the day. I know it’s not the season for turkey and stuffing, but I thought I’d share this clipping from the Bonne Isle Bumblebee of November 24, 1972.
Ha, love it Jim!
I love these Ellie bonus features!
Brilliant!!
I remember that day, windy as “H” “E” double Red Wing “hockey sticks”!!
Outstanding!!! Love your background material!!
Thanks everybody!
@ Scott: I was only six years old but I remember that too!
That’s awesome.
@ Mikey: Thanks! I’m here to entertain.
Ya my parents told me about this one, I think it was a friend of a coworker of my dad’s or something…
