Top 20 Entries from 1972 - Part 4**

Here are the final 5 highlights selected from 366 journal entries of 1972
LOCATION: Corona, California -- Jan 28, 2014

16) Aug 27, 1972 - Flying with a bomb on Western Airlines
LOCATION: Bethlehem; Rapid City; Salt Lake City; Los Angeles; Anaheim
In which I left Rapid City, stopped in SLC while flying to LAX, and somehow ended up at the Disneyland Hotel. Then mom stopped by for a visit to give me a check for five bucks so I could go to Disneyland the next day (Aug 28 - Disneyland for $4.95).
On the road again by way of the airlines

17) Sep 22, 1972 - TIME REVIEW: The past 100 days
LOCATION: Newport Beach, California
Page 266: A Time Bump where I responsibly fill in the anomalous Temporal Gap that was created when I visited this entry from page 66 (Mar 06 - As close as I'll get to time travel).



18) Oct 13, 1972 - 1st Black President: James Earl Jones
LOCATION: Newport Beach, Anaheim, Santa Ana 
A fantastic drive-in double feature: Thanks to Rod Serling, the U.S. gets a cool African American President, and then Raquel Welch becomes a deadly gunfighter.

(Update from THE RECENT FUTURE [7/19/2015]: Go to Friday the 13th 1972, for free YouTube links to both of these films: The Man & Hannie Caulder) For a bonus link to THE CURRENT FUTURE, go to HERE & NOW
Gunslinger Hannie Caulder

19) Nov 22, 1972 - 9th anniversary of Kennedy's murder

What are we really willing to believe? ... never mind ...
Maybe it went something like this...

20) Dec 13, 1972 - End of an Era: the last moonwalk ever
LOCATION: Newport Beach, Santa Ana, Anaheim
That was 42 years ago. Where have human beings been lately?

NEXT TIME: Who knows?
