[quote=Anonymous]To the spring chickens and old roosters in here..........

I am 52 also and was the PP who talked about the transition from MD to VA in the late 70s/early 80's.

Being born in 1959 was a magnificent blessing - born the youngest of 6 meaning I had teenage siblings at the time of my birth who were poised to explode along with the late 60's cultural revolution.   Early 60s was a time of innocence - quickly smashed by the JFK and MLK assasinations and Vietnam war.    Witnessing the space race with the wondrous eyes of a boy and staying up to see an American set foot on the moon clearly shaped me - I was hooked and grew up to be a research scientist.    In the late 70s, at Walt Whitman HS, there were so few boundaries - everybody around me was doing drugs, drinking like fish and having sex.    School lunch hours were opportunities for a party.   How did we survive?

A wonderful time to be alive and an amazing period to come of age.    I have arrived at adulthood (3 kids in college, a fourth a senior in HS) with my mind intact, a working body, a strong faith, and a wife who loves me.   I am pretty happy to be 52 - and to be able to share my rememberances with others who did not experience the 60's/70's with the same perspective.[/quote]
