Barry's Story
Life
FACTS:
Joined the Marines out of HS; went to college; got married; dropped out of college; went to work; got divorced; quit work; went back to college; moved to California; graduated; went back to work; retired.
RELATIONSHIPS:
In the autumn of my life, I reminisce fondly about the 3 women who entered at different stages of it. However, bachelorhood fits me comfortably these days.
FUTURE:
It's a whole new cyber-world out there. For the price of a local call, I can chat with someone from Spain in real time.

College
I do not and never have considered myself a professional student.
However, I've attended 11 schools in 3 states at various times over about a 30 year period accumulating about 175 units, but only a BA.
I never attended school solely to obtain a vocation. I went, primarily, to find out about the world around me.
As is so often the case, I rarely used specific degree knowledge on the job. Nevertheless, the knowledge obtained definitely broadened my view of life for which I am eternally grateful.
My most memorable college was the one where I lived in a dorm and the campus was a small city unto itself. It even had ivy on the buildings. I highly recommend this type of college environment to everyone in comparison to a school where everyone drives to it, has class and drives home; safe in their cocoon from conflicting ideas, cultures and religions.
