Wow Karen. You must be in pretty good shape. We were both born the same year and I certainly couldn't run up the mountain anymore. However, 15 years ago I was doing 100 mile bike rides in one day. One included Sardine canyon up and down. Yikes. It freaks me out just thinking about how worn out I was. Jerry P.
DC, Please see my commont from 7/22/14 Jp
Thanks for your comments Barbara. Viet Nam was a terrible thing for the graduating class of 1964 to walk into. I was drafted and sent to Viet Nam with thousands of others from all over the US. I am against war and somehow don't feel like a military vet. I had to go. What else do you do at age 19? What did we gain from that war and how much have we learned about entering wars with no exit stratagy?
It is nice that Russ Bentson is getting so many nice compliments from his fellow classmates from 1964. I honor him for his actions in Viet Nam. I was lucky, I guess. I went and returned back OK. Thanks to Don Allen, the Olympus High electronics teacher, I was put into the Communications group, even though I had no choise due to the fact that I was drafted shortly after high school. In Viet Nam, I would fly around the Country-side in Huey's fixing radios. I am still working in electronics with my own Company, Instrumentation Solutions. RIP Russ.
