The time is spring 1969. The place is Ed White Elementary School
in El Lago, Texas, a South Houston suburb
right down the road from NASA. The occasion on this fateful day
that put everything in motion? Fourth grade recess. No, that's not me. That's Ricky Rodriguez,
one of my many ne'er-do-well buddies. They had changed the rules, so you weren't supposed
to throw the ball at people, which was kind of the most fun thing
about kickball. It was taking some gettin' used to. And that's Mr. St. George, our PE coach,
walking Ricky over to the wall. He was a very specific disciplinarian, drawing you a little circle
on the nearest wall. Here. Put your nose in there
and keep it in there
