Real Journals

Unlike Jesse Marcel sr, I have real journals. With its starry background, and nice saying, the front cover of this one made it appealing to me. I have many others, going back several years.
I first began keeping diaries (or some semblance of them) in the early 1970s. Lacking real journals, I often wrote in the margins of old notebooks or on the backs of papers. Starting in the late '80s I've  purchased planners, and used them as diaries as well. In recent years I've obtained bona fide journals, one after another. Some of the better ones were sent to me by Tamra Orr, a writer with many to spare.
Back in the seventies my diary entries usually recorded only sky observations, and space missions. I regret that in October 1973 I didn't write more about the Mideast war then raging. At least what I did write about it set a precedent.
I should also have written more about school events. Lately, I've become curious about certain events in high school. Although I can recall a great deal without old records, they still might've been very useful, as I'm in facebook groups about my old class, and schools I went too.
