Michael Shields:  

y first name never bothered to respond to what I wrote...I suppose that many of them still think they are part of that "in crowd". A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a note to one of the guys that always gave me a bad time, asking him why he treated me that way and what I ever did to him to deserve it. I haven't heard anything from him yet and probably won't. I would like to hear from some of those who gave me a bad time way back then, to see how they justify it almost fifty years later. Anyway, I came back to the state I was born in because it's the only place closest to anything I can call a home. Along the way I've learned a lot about life, I've learned how to do a lot of different things, including the restoration of cast iron wood stoves and have taught myself how to repair computers. Not much left to tell, except I never got married or had any kids...probably not very exciting to most people here, but thst is the way life is sometimes.
