I also started with a Sears 60mm EQ refractor that I got for Christmas in 1967. I used it until I built an 8" reflector in late 1970. I have many scopes now but not my first....I wish I had kept it.

That's indeed a nice setup for a young observer, and it's so nice to have that photo to reminisce about those days.
