Well, I went to East Russia also - NE Cape, off Nome. 40 below there, but we did not have to go outside, since all the buildings were connected by hallways. Duluth, MN was worse - had to drive in 25 below.
Was at Donaldson - Greenville, SC, for 4 months, as they decided to close it right after I got there, and they sent me to Charleston. A dream for me. NASCAR country. A 25 year old lying on Folly Beach, listening on the radio and heard the awful Fireball Roberts tragedy. Did see some great Carolina racing though, while there.
Almost 60 years ago. Unbelievable.
