Thanks Tom. I've always enjoyed the Astro. Great historical part of Randall history.

I'm from Tampa Florida, my dad worked on power plants over on the east coast, and we watched the launches of Gemini and Apollo rockets.

Man, you ain't lived if you didn't see a Saturn 5 liftoff!! We had a travel trailer that my dad used for work. Our home place was in Tampa. In the summers we would go spend with him, as the park was right on the the Indian River across from the Cape , along A1A, south of Titusville. We would just walk down to the river to watch the liftoffs. The night shots were magnificent. Never forget it. The VAB ( vehicle assembly building) was prominent from our vantage point too.
I attended a new, "modern" school just opened that year in Titusville, Apollo Elementary. Named after the space program. I say modern, because it was special in that it had no regular windows, just long narrow ones to let light in. This school was air conditioned! Unique for the mid 60's.

This is one reason I have a passion for Randall knives, and yes guys, for the sheaths too :-)
