Comments:

Post-Sunnyslope life began at community college and continued with a move to Israel in January 1974, completion of a B.Ed. back as ASU in 1976, permanent move to Israel in August 1977, a fully active life there including military service, career development, research and authorship of multiple books about the country, establishment of two (really really small) corporations, a foray into amateur sports, and now absolutely no retirement and a research interest to fill spare time that I do not have.

School Story:

Bad memories for me and for you of me. Basically, fairly severe ADHD decades before the condition was known. All things considered, people were pretty good about it.

It's fifty years to the day since I left America for Israel, with which I identified from childhood. I allow myself one compliment about that: I hit the ground running and am still running. Running, for me, means trying to contribute to one's milieu -- my national enterprise in this case -- and make it a bit better than it would be otherwise. My wife, our four kids, the two grandchildren who are old enough to be "running," and basically our entire national community live by the same creed. It's a victorious strategy.

My country Israel has, let's say, been in the news of late. So after almost exactly 50 years of really intensive life here, I have some tools with which to explain various related things -- if you wish to ask about them.

One of two classmates living outside the U.S., among a large majority who remained in Arizona. So according to the map on the site. The person-by-person list shows 40 classmates living in Jamaica and 25 in Yukon Territory. Really?
