I tell my kids not to make rash decisions with there life and to think about what the consequences will be so they dont regret in the future what decision they made and that I will not be here on this earth forever to fallback on.
School
I had a big crush on Deborah Francis, I would do it all again but in a different way, I would not have broken my girlfriends heart by breaking up with her prior to going into the military, I would have married her. I cant go back, so if Deborah reads this I hope we can still be friends and try and get in contact with me. I have been trying to find her since I came home on leave in 1980, but could not find her or find her house. Everything really changed since I went away. I know it has been a lot of years and you probably dont remember me or dont want to, I do understand.
