Hi All,

The Thing That Stands Out For Me Is:
Elvis Presley >> Died On Aug.16, 1977 In Graceland, Tn  He Was Only 42 Years Old So Sad >> Ouch!!!

Hello,

My Clipper was made in 1979. Atari released Asteroids in 1979, one of the most popular and influential games of the  golden age of arcade games.

Wow Andrew! Sure shows my age...Asteroids...really!?  I shoulda guessed .lol
Well the same year...1979, the average cost of a gallon of gas was .87 cents! Average cost of a home was 52K........and the brand new Walkman first debuted and cost $200.  The beginning of what was to come!
Oh yea...Margaret Thatcher, first woman ambassador!
And above all....our Clipper was born.
I'm still having flashbacks from the 60's ....that's all I can remember from '79 !!!!!
