ASCAN1984 Member Posts: 1049 From: County Down, Nothern Ireland Registered: Feb 2002	posted 06-14-2012 09:47 AM I was just looking at the bios page in Mike Mullane's Riding Rickets and saw that a lot of the the 1978 class were in their late 20's/early 30's. Were they the youngest class ever selected or is there another?
