[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

My great-grandfather was born in 1868.

The Santa Fe trail was closed because of Indian raids.
Buffalo still roamed the plains.
Custer was still fighting Indians.
Most the tribes from Mexico to Canada were on the warpath.
The first cattle drives were on the move from Texas.

HE lived long enough to see the B-52A go into service.

My great-grandfather was born in 1868.

Along the same lines I had the great pleasure of being at my grandparents house on July 21, 1969 when Neil Armstrong step onto the moon.

My grandfather, born in 1901, remarked that as a kid seeing a car was a big deal. And now we have men walking on the moon.
