Viet Nam was actually an improvement over home & school...
Would have been in the 11th grade when the "THEN" picture was taken. Was in Viet Nam a few months later.
Moved back to Antioch in '74.
Was a Maintenance Mechanic, welder, machinist at Inter Pace.
Joined Active Reserves - attached to River Division 11 PBRs out of Vallejo. The unit actually got a headline in the Ledger, in '76, I believe... We made a night run to Stockton did a couple 180s at 35 knots out in front of the Riverview...
I guess the wakes hit the dock fairly hard. They blame the Army because the boats were green...

I was getting D's & F's in math in JrH and SrH...
(Not All of them)
If I had listened to my JrH/SrH teachers, I could have been a successful school custodian... 🤔
You Know, I just thought of something... I got A's in Political Science, even had a professor try to get me into politics - if I could have kept guys like Luny, Shepard and Bigcraft off my back, and got a little more encouragement, I might have run against Clinton and changed history (LMAO🤣) - can you even Imagine the State of The Union W/O the Clinton's, Or the o'Bomanation... 😃
...damn, I could have had Palin as my VP!
I had better quit before I lose site of reality...
...oops, too late! 🤪
If only the real me 😎 had got loose back then, everybody would have had to change their game plan...
Hindsight and a little imagination is great, isn't it?👍
I've had a lot of multiple visits, so there must be some entertainment value to my story.
I have had an interesting and challenging journey over the past 70 years ~ I've been beat, stabbed, shot at, and blown-up and still managed to salvage my sense of humor ~ maybe I should write a book? ... a tragic inspirational comedy.
What'cha think ???
In my world there would be sunshine, lollipops, and No Sloppy-Joe and Calamity Harris!
the end...
