I was “reborn’ in the 80’s as well. The 70’s were not good for me. I got a draft lottery number of 308 which did allow me to stay in college thats the good news. I was going to school to go into the military through the Navy’s Officer Candidate Program. When I graduated in 1977, opportinities were gone due to Carter’s military drawdown. I went to work for Fluor Corporation in their Petrochemical Division as a field engineer. We finished a job we were doing for Mobil in Lousiana in August 1980, and the company laid us all off. I returned to my home in Tucson and did odd jobs to support myself. At that time, Reagan’s Presidential candidacy was starting to get going. I spent countless hours walking the neighborhoods of Tucson and Phoenix handing out Reagan Presidential literature since I had a lot of time on my hands. The rest is history.

Did Carter do anything good for anyone or anything?
