About me: High school ended just as the Vietnam War picked up, the draft came in the next year -- and we lost a few then and later due to the war, and then the hippies (some of us) started, life got weird. But we mostly made it, and now get together to share brilliant wisdom and wise advice...and talk about children, grandchildren, and our health.
