Let's Go Fly a Kite

April 24, 1967, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern
Pure joy at getting that kite in the air.  As a boy, I had more than my share of Charlie Brown-like incidents, with the kite getting caught in the tree, so I share this kid's happiness.  Of course, I wasn't the sharpest tool in the box either, insisting I could get the thing aloft with the ever-so-slightest of breezes, but maybe that was just childish enthusiasm.  Or worse, stubborness, which I carry onward to this day, for some things. Wasn't it Dirty Harry who said, “A man's got to know his limitations?"
