20. Bus Patrol, 6th grade.

They took us to a Twins game at the Met. Only time I was there before they tore it down. Our seats were down the third baseline and it was a blazing hot sunny day. If I was forced to name who they played, I'd guess the A's, but it'd be only a guess.

North Shore Elementary, Duluth township, Minnesota. The Bomarc missile base was just south of the school. Twelve Hiroshima's worth of nuke tipped anti-aircraft missiles, less than a mile from the school.
