I was far from perfect, nor did I aspire to be so. What can I say. 😋👍
I was far from perfect. I was a varsity cheerleader in high school, and my mother forbid me to see the quarterback of the football team because he was Italian. I lied about where I was going, and then go meet him. I also didn't apply myself in high school. Ended up taking American History three times...the last in my senior year, and I needed it to graduate. Got through by the skin of my teeth. 20 years later, I began researching the Civil War extensively, got my B.A., then my M.A. I only did it to prove to myself that I could do it. Never used my degrees for anything, because I already had many years working for NY State, and had seniority in the job I was in. I wasn't going to go anywhere. I'm still a big history buff. I'm always reading several books on various periods of history. I'm currently reading a book on Adolf Eichmann, a not very complimentary history of the CIA by a former agent, and a book about the history of the German WWII prison Colditz. I'm also reading a detective novel which is the Logan McRae series by Scottish author Stuart Macbride. It's contemporary, takes place in Aberdeen, Scotland. Good and gory.
