When one gets older, it is said that time seems to accelerate.
That certainly seems to be the case with the following.
Jim Nolt, of The Adventures Continue group page on Facebook, posted the following this morning:
July 10, 2001: The "Adventures of Superman" turned fifty years old, and "Superman Week" was proclaimed by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. On hand for the ceremony were Jeff Corey, Robert Rockwell, Joanna Siegel, Noel Neill, Jack Larson, Bette Shayne, Michael Walbrecht (VP of Warner Bros. Studios), and Paul Levitz (VP of DC Comics). A luncheon was held after the ceremony at the Cafe Pinot in Los Angeles. Arrangements with the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors were made by Armand Vaquer.

Yeesh! Twenty years ago today! Also in attendance were Laura Siegel Larson, daughter of Superman co-creator Jerome Siegel and Stephanie Shayne, daughter of Bob Shayne (Inspector Henderson). Many Adventures of Superman fans filled the auditorium where the ceremony took place.

Thanks to the office of then-Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich, we were able to hold the "Superman Week" celebration. All participants received a photocopy of the proclamation scroll.

I'll never understand Time. No siree. And another mind-boggling time period is approximately 45-years since Gary Grossman's, Superman:Serial to Cereal, was published. 45! But we've learned so much and had tons of fun in that period.
You're right! That's about the time I bought my large format copy, 1976-77.
