Love it! My dad was 17 years old at this time. I would be born in 1964.

I love Huntsville, AL. I especially love the kind folks at the Space Center Camp Grounds and the nice folks at Montesano

At 3:03, that is Morton Hall in the background (UAH). Sources say it was completed in 1960.

Not many towns have color videos before most of the city was built.
