Wow, talk about singling me out!
I started subscribing to S&T in 1965. In 1966 I got a small Optical Craftsman reflector for Xmas. That summer the Skalnate Pleso arrived, a thing of wonder, and I started working my way through the Messier catalog from my backyard in Ky (sans setting circles, of course). Never finished, though.
In July of 1969 I met Walter Scott Houston at the Talcott Mountain Observatory (in Connecticut) where I was attending an NSF summer program in astronomy for high school students.
Even made it to Stellafane that year...
