So, what did you do from 1966 to 2018?

My father was down in Orlando at the FUN show and ran into somebody he worked with when he was 17. My father worked stock at a grocery store, and would later meet and fall in love with a cashier, my mother. Then the boys went off to war.

Half a century later, they end up a few counties away, all the way down the coast, at a coin show for a hobby his friend picked up on accident.

How have coins brought you or friends or loved ones into your lives? Any similar stories? I'm sure there's some good 'uns out there.

    Good story. It is nice to hook up with old friends.

    I bought a lot of nice coins from my friends for pocket change back in the early 70's - elementary school on... Actually, they were mostly my friends dads' coins... Not sure if I want to run into them today :)

    "So, what did you do from 1966 to 2018?"

    Went from ten years old to sixty-three years old. Everything else is a blur.

    Well, I was born in 1966, so I’ve done everything in my entire life, thus far.

    1966, I was conceived on my Fathers B-day (so I have been told), 1967 I was brought in to this world kicking and screaming (my mother informed me thusly) and I have been trying to live each day to the fullest since...but work keeps getting in the way.
