Despite my lighthearted comment about dem Mets I really wanted to say something in all seriousness. My time at SRL 67-68-69 was a time period in which our country and community faced extreme challenges. The war in Viet Nam was raging, the streets of Newark were burning and drugs seemed to flow like wine. If the diagnosis of ADD existed back then ~ the slaps I got caused me to focus real quick. My Catholic school "training" imbibed me with such a sense of guilt through those tough years I neither became knocked up or locked up. I raised my children never laying a hand on them in anger. I've had a good life and earned an honest living. And most important of all I managed to keep in touch with some of the same people I've known for 40+ years!
So John, I apologize if the initial question started a brush fire, but it's all good. As always thanks for giving us the opportunity to share. |
