22 years ago

On October 4, 1984, our family left Maryland for Missouri. Somehow Sam missed being in the picture, but here we are waiting in Washington National Airport for our flight.

It was quite a day. Our car and all our household goods had been packed up the day before, so I guess we must have slept on the floor. Two taxis picked us up early in the morning and we were at the airport in plenty of time. For some reason we did not board early, and we attracted significant notice coming on the plane and getting to our seats. I remember someone asking, "Do you do this often?"

It was quite an adventure.
