I was born in the first state. Pops was a C-5 pilot.

We moved all over but I spent high school in Atlanta (he was flying C5s out of Dobbins to test them after a wing upgrade project - then he worked as air Force liaison to civil air patrol).

I had left at only 8 weeks of age and never returned to Delaware until my work was shuttering a site in immediately adjacent MD. This provided an opportunity to test an experimental technique on some production scale equipment.

The French guys (animal health company with lots of French and German sites) I was with were loving the no sales tax and were stocking up on cigarettes. One almost bought a Stratocaster but decided not too. We got a lot of good seafood and it was strange to see so many chicken houses and corn growing to support them. We grow more chicken in GA but I would guess that there are more per unit area on Delmarva.

All that chicken money means lots of Purdue money for the Salisbury Shorebirds (in MD very close to DE). Baller-esque minor league park.
