i was an officer ar oakland army terminal in late 1967 was a general by proxy to overseel some 35000 men a month going over then ted bell came through even some from grade school. sorry about the damper on the our school dialogue. however i,writing a book about the 196os so the whole book is controversial . so what can i talk about wthout beiong trite an superfical.. or is it oaky for our generation be seen by our kid grandkids as apathic and smug. look i,v read this website some 50ten years now is seem only 10% our our oriiginal 565 students ever seem to read our website let alone write in. sad that many death notices get zero responses. so sad because out classes( 1962- 1967 and those years were so critical  in forming what america is today. BOth to our own praise but to our own fault. what was that phrase, the afflunt, efflent  out kid,our grandkids among the homeless. i,ve visited at least 10 other school websites across the country phoenix, selma new york, atanta. st louis. lets not pass he buck  this is largely what superfical values, have let us to. where 3 divorces is normal where down town seattle look like  more and for like india. and india isbegining to look like america..all ccountry go through cycles from youth to mid age to old age but not this soon.  i visited vet nam recently and its embarrasing how well is doing now liile crime homeless. a succesfull capitalistic country. on the list of happy countys we are below india.  sad we have so much potiental   synergy but  i guess will just vegetate away and pass our  weakness on the next generation.
