Mountain rescue[edit]

(In memory of Ralph "Skip" Greene)

Skip was a mountain man, formerly manager of the University of Colorado Mountain Research Station,^[3] still a member of the Rocky Mountain Rescue Group at the time of his death,^[4] and my son's school bus driver (his second career, starting when he was about 50). He was loved by the generations of children he transported over a period of 25 years, not to mention their parents.^[5] In his memory, I have started working to improve the "Mountain rescue" article and several other related articles, and eventually write an article on the Rocky Mountain Rescue Group.

Satellites[edit]

On the morning of November 23, 1963,I was outdoors playing and waiting to go to a friend's house to watch television—a prerecorded address from the president of the United States to the people of Japan. One of my parents came out and told us that John F. Kennedy had just been assassinated. I was in Northern Japan, and the show that we were waiting for was the the second 15-minute television broadcast from the United States to Japan (the first was too early in the morning for us). Instead of an address by JFK, we heard that he had been assassinated. This entire broadcast was virtually forgotten by Americans, but not by those of us who were in Japan and got the news, for the first time ever, virtually simultaneously with the American public. When I started editing for Wikipedia, all of the articles mentioning the first trans-Pacific broadcast credited Syncom 3, which broadcast the Tokyo Olympics 9 months later. These were my first edits.
