ED - except for the steps & trees, could be my old Alma mater, Southern H.S.

sounds like you were a - rebel-rousing, anti-establishmentarian HIPPY even way back then.

at what point & age did you join THE SERVICE? Could it be that a JUDGE gave you a CHOICE?

8 Weeks of Basic Trng. usually gives a young mind some Direction!

AM I CLOSE ??? TK

I remember my graduations speakers saying once you get out of high school you leave the best years behind. That was so true up til now, I think. At my grandson's graduation and at my grandaughter's grad they said look to the future and make the best of yourself. You got a good start now use it. I love to hear grad speakers and will go to another grandson's this spring. Looking forward to the speakers.

Don't berate your education, what was - learn from life, which is the best teacher of all, and help others to avoid the mistakes we made - the best lesson of all. :) Well done, Ed.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

And congratulations on getting your diploma: you accomplished SOMETHING that many others can't say they did.
