If he went to the Citadel he couldn't be very smart.:)

He didn't have any choice in the matter! His rather masterful widowed mother (who lived to be 103 and played in a duplicate bridge tournament a week before she died) called him in one day and told him, "I think you need more male influence in your life." He said, "Yes, Ma'am." She said, "So I have enrolled you in The Citadel." He said, "Yes, Ma'am." And that, as they say, was that.

During the Cuban Missile Crisis, my dad and his buddies bought up every round of ammunition and every reloading component in Atlanta, Georgia.

I don't know what they knew, officially or unofficially (Dad was still in the reserves at that time), but I remember it as a very serious time, with lots of talking on the telephone and lots of handing primers to dad! (I was 8 at the time.)

All so called nature lovers should do what Jesus did. That is, go out into the wilderness for 40 days with nothing more than you can carry on your person. If they can make the 40 days and survive they will have a whole different attitude when they return.

My grandmother who would be the same generation also made it to 103. The earliest memories of her childhood were relatives leaving home to fight in the war, The Spanish American war. Both of our grandmothers were advanced in years when the Titanic sunk.

We had one or two people at North Georgia when I was there who were told by the judge, "You seem to be a bright young man, I will give you your choice, go to college at NGC or go to jail".

As far as the true male influence at the Citadel, we at North Georgia College would always question that.

As far and brains and getting in EOD, I had and I am sure your father had a few of, "What am I doing here", thoughts. :}

There was one guy that did try that. I remembered reading an article about it. He starved to death after about 30 days or so. This was during the summer when he could have eaten berries.

Gram was born in 1890, so she would have been 24 when the Titanic sank. She married that year, on March 14, her birthday. Her great-uncle Henry (her mother Nannie's uncle) was with Dewey at Manila Bay. She was from Eufaula, AL, there must have been something in the water down there, her mom lived to be 97 and her sister lived to be 94.
