Smilies Legend
[i]While Mercury astronaut John Glenn hurtled around his home planet three times on Feb. 20, 1962, Beaumont third-grader Billy Black, then 9 and a student at Sallie Curtis Elementary, stood in line at a post office to buy the brand-new Project Mercury postage stamps. A picture in The Enterprise captured the smiling blond-ish boy with his mother, Inge, who had urged him to buy the stamps. Fifty years later, William "Bill" Black, now a dentist for the Veterans Administration in Temple, still has that same sheet of stamps, kept in a safety deposit box.[/i]
