True. I was enrolled at UMaine when the hockey arena was built and the first NCAA season was during my senior year in 1978-79.
3. I saw Mickey Mantle homer from both sides of the plate at Fenway at my first MLB game.
True. As a 9 year old I witnessed the Red Sox defeat the Yankees 5-3 at Fenway in June 1966. Mantle hit 2 HRs. One LH. One RH.
4. The first home I owned was on the first street of the first home my parents owned.True. My folks bought their first home in 1962 in St Albans VT. They [along with me] moved in 1973 to Maine. In 1981, I bought my first home in St Albans VT on the same street.
5. Before this year, I had never officiated a game without wearing glasses.

False. I started wearing glasses at age 26, after my first stint was over. I started with the contacts one month ago.
