The episode 17 of "the story of my life" tells about my Lionel train set I had since I was 5 years old in Kindergarten in Muncie, Indiana in 1956 at Chrismas time, and also tells about my first musical instruments I bought and owned, with others not yet mentioned, like my Farfisa Compact electronic organ made in Italy, and I got that in 1967 when I was in me 2nd year of high school, for only $350 used which was purchased for me in downtown Indianapolis then at a place called Indiana Music Store. I also bought at the same time and same place, a Kalamazoo Bass 50 tube amplifier with 50 watts of RMS power for the 2 ten inch Jensen musical instrument speakers, which are made in the USA, surprise! Not made in Japan or China or Malaysia or Vietnam (my newest great pro Nikon D3300 red DSLR 24 megapixel camera made by the world famous camera and lens company, Nikon, in Tokyo, Japan, was made in Vietnam! Can you believe it? Anything to cut down on labor costs! But it was a fantastic camera, before my former roommate here stole it from my closet while I was out of the room. So I need to buy a new camera someday. I have a small Sony Cybershot with Zeiss lens, zoom, tiny great camera which I only had to pay 100 dollars for!

This episode deals with the movie I saw there in summer 1969 of "2 thousand and one, a space oddessy" about Dave, the astronaut who in the movie is an American astronaut for NASA....by coincidence, this book and movie was made in 19 68 a year before I saw it, first shown in 1969 at the San Jose movie theater I watched it there for the first time with my Uncle Stu (who was a Korean War Veteran in the U.S. Army there and then from 1950-whenever it stopped...Uncle Stu was like a father figure for me, a genius, who actually cared about me and tried to give me important advice, information, and even clues to my future then.
