You didn’t want to say what years your brother was attending college?

He is six years younger than I. I went to college in 1967 and graduated in 1972. So, that must mean he started college in 1973. I'm not sure of the year he graduated because he farted around at two colleges. If he shot right through he graduated in 1977; but, I don't think that was the case. My college was a five year stent because I started out majoring in physics and math, then switched to computer science in my senior year.

I was commissioned in the Army upon graduating, and they moved me from Infantry to Adjutant General Corps because of my degree. Because of the way Nixon performed force reduction, I was swept out of active duty right after OBC. I think that was actually earmarked before I was commissioned. Branch changes for retention were prohibited for some reason. Eight years in Reserves.

My brother and his first wife were both flower-wearing, tie-dyed people who attended numerous demonstrations. That was winding down in that time frame. He is a heavy pot smoker to this day. He is a mess. But, he started his career as an English teacher and later became the principle of a high school. He retired from a position as an assistant superintendent of schools.

His son is as nasty as he, a chip off the old block.

When are you going to explain the 1960s to me?
