Getting Older

Ha ha,
I’m not that old. But still considering how education has changed since I was in school. With the fast advances of the Internet age, which was non-existent in my school years.
I had to figure this stuff out by myself.
I’m 48 years old. Fairly educated, with a High School, Military Education in the Medical Lab environment, Air Conditioning/ Refrigeration through a local Trade School. Self Taught Professional Roofer.  As well as  a lot of years of hands on experience in the maintenance and building and grounds fields.

While watching the Network News today, I saw a story mentioning that today is the 30 year anniversary of the day that Ronald Reagan was shot.

I Have had what I think is an interest life while growing up.
For example, I was on Cocoa Beach at Patrick AFB on July 16, 1969 as a 6 year old kid. The launch of Apollo 11 is one of my best historical memories.
30 years ago today, I was 18 years old living on Bolling AFB in Washington DC. I had graduated High School at 17 and decided that instead of choosing a career, I would stay with my family and help with the move from Barksdale AFB at Bossier/Shreveport City in Louisiana to Washington DC.
I found a job selling books for a local bookstore owner outside the BX(base exchange) of several Military bases and Posts around the near areas of Maryland, Virginia, as well as DC.
I ended up becoming the regional manager for the owner. I managed 5 bookshops in the areas mentioned above.
30 years ago today, I had just returned from my daily rounds of each store, special orders, paychecks, special needs, daily deposits, etc.
I was at the “home store” when we heard the news on the radio that Reagan had been shot.
I remember this day so clearly because, for 1. The book store in Alexandria was only a few miles from the actual event. For another, there were two bookstores on “M” Street. One in DC and one in Georgetown.
I realized instantly on hearing the news of Reagan’s shooting, that I drove right by where he was shot an hour before it happened.

There is another reason why I want to remember Ronald Reagan.

Ha ha, I voted for him the first time…
He also opened the door and allowed the new minting of the best selling and most popular US Silver Coin.

The Award Winning Silver Eagle One Dollar Coin.
It is a unique and beautiful piece of art.

Most people don’t realize that it is also a collectible asset for you and your families future enjoyment and possibly become a form of financial wealth.
If you or I had bought the new coin back in the 80′s, we would have spent a little then to have a very good investment now.
