Who Was On the Cover of Esquire the Month You Were Born?

You mean June 1961 (brokeback_dev)? That is definitely not Ann-Margret. God help me, I ain't jokin', I think it's Anita Bryant for June 1961!
I did a little, a very little, very quick research, but I couldn't find any documentation.
My month just had a cartoon of a cable car. It appears the cover story was something about San Francisco.

I think it was Anita Bryant too! (EWWWW!) She would have been 21.
Esky was the only figure on my month.

Most whippersnappers, thats as distant as World War 2. Im just giving ol' Terry a hard time because he just rolled over another number on the odometer. I myself was around for Robert Kennedy, MLK, and the moon landing. Matter of fact, I recently had a conversation with a young guy about your sons age who didnt know there had been a FIRST Gulf War and counldnt believe we had typing class in my high school on actual typewriters. To him it sounded like my granddaddy's stories of growing up before indoor plumbing and rural electrification.

You must have been a propper whippersnapper when Mssrs Armstrong and Aldrin first set foot/feet on the moon (do you really remember that?). I was twelve at the time, on holiday in the Black Forest and clearly recall standing outside on a clear night together with my family, looking up at the moon, marvelling at the achievement. Though the person I remember being bowled over most vocally was our host (his wife ran the B & B we stayed in), a nice German farmer, who hadn't had much chance of education in his life. For him, just then, maybe just for the moment, the moon landing and America by association were clearly the Holy Grail.

my son swears he is scarred for life because his friends found out in the third grade we still had a 8 track player...
(how mortifying to have thrifty parents!) ::) ::)

My reaction, too, Judge, but she was something of a popular singer back in the day. ...
Not my day, though. I don't remember anything before 1962. ;D
