Bryan's Story
Life
After passing the half century mark, I wished that I could go back to about 25, knowing what I had learned from painful choices. Now, ten years later, I am just grateful to have a productive day, find my way home and not pee my pants. I hope that you have had a happy, functional life, with few reasons for regret. I have been stranded in Houston, since my car broke down in 1970. That's thirty years in a town where I only intended to work for the summer, before going back to graduate school. As we used to say in northeast Texas, "I've been to a rodeo, a world fair, and under the house several times, but I ain't never seen nothing like this." Life has certainly been an educational experience for me, but, up to now, I have survived. I live and work near downtown Houston. I welcome communications from the past, since I am still looking for someone who made more mistakes than I did. If you are in the Houston area and feel like calling, my number is ...Expand for more
713-863-9966. "If I'd known I might live this long...." You know the rest! Best wishes.
School
I wish that I had figured out how important school was before I finished attending. I was a middle rank student, with great ability on standardized tests and a memory like a bear trap. If I had only applied myself, I could have been a contender.
Military
I was a true American hero---------NOT! In reality, I owe much to the war in Viet Nam, since, to avoid it, I was forced to get a college education for the 2-S deferment and to go to law school, where I could be exempted from duty by ROTC. Alas, they finally got me, but, by then, they had more 2nd Lieutenants than they had troops to command. Needless to say, I was not needed in Viet Nam; and, to those who served in my place, I am very grateful. I did my thing, completed ordnance officers school and the JAG school, accepted my honorable discharge, and returned to civilian life. What more is there to say?
