UPdated - 5/9/15. The new pic is at a Poetry reading (my poem) at the college - courtesy of the Veterans Legacy. Program. I just finished my first year at Suffolk County Community College. I'm doing pretty well (considering who the rest of the students are - LOL). Guess I'll STILL be pretty busy for a while. I'm kinda like a big brother (to some) and a 'father figure" to others! They get a "kick" out of it (come to think of - SO DO I). Made a lot of new friends - most of them young enough to be my kids or grandkids - (talk about "culture shock"). I have to say - I've gotten more pats on the back and respect - than I ever did when I came back from Vietnam. While that's humbling - it's also sad (thinking back to 47 yrs ago). My heart still goes out to all my schoolmates that didn't make it back (alive) - you'll always be remembered (by me too). The biggest event that I've become aware of is the need to keep from answering too many questions in my classes, because I have to give the "newer" (and much younger) students a chance to participate.
