Hi Rylee
ReplyDeleteWho had more fun do you think with the interview process...you or your Grandparents? I bet they loved talking with you and sharing their stories about when they were young!
Aren't you pleased you are not being schooled in the days of the strap. I love the fact that your Nana was in a Marching team...my Mother was as a young girl also and I used to love seeing photos of her in her marching uniform.
With the first question, just choose the year that they were the same age as you to make it easier.
Fantastic work on completing this task

Hi Rylee
ReplyDeleteGreat interview Rylee. Things sure are different now. I think technology is the thing thats changed the most. When Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon my family and many of my friends families didn't even have TV just a radio and we listened to the live broadcast of him walking on the moon at school on the schools radio.

Hi Rylee,
ReplyDeleteThe landing of the moon must have been a huge feat when it happened. Even now space activity is very limited and give hours of endless wonder and thought to scientists and astronomers around the world.
