‘75, eeh?

lessee ... hmmm ‘75 ...oh yes, I have returned to the base i left to go to southeast Asia, got my next stripe, got my 1st car, made warehouse supervisor, and was informed that with a surplus, post-Vietnam, of too many E-5’s with 5 yrs in service, that i either fish and find a new career, or wait and be assigned to cook,,cop,,,or civil engineer, or, bye bye!

btw, Stamford High school took County Champs in 1969, in football.

‘73-74 Danbury high was closed due to race riots. I was there ‘74-75,the place was in lockdown with heavy security. Quite a culture shock for a kid from the sticks.
