Hello everyone, I'm in here, now I'm jumping out again, be back in a few weeks, ;-)))))

When I was Army, I was B 3/28 Mechanized Infantry, Black Lions of Cantigney.
In the Washington Army National Guard the unit was "A" Company then "E" Company, both of 3/161 Mechanized Infantry.

I remember falling asleep in Mr. Kuntzman's 8th grade Math class. My eyes focused on Mr. K just before I dozed. I think he gave my desk a real good tap as he yelled "wake up". I'm not sure he yelled, really. I know if I jumped any higher I would have been through the roof, as I recall it was raining so that would really blow.
I have never fell asleep unless I wanted too, and I have been up 72 hours for some occasions all because it was part of the deal. I would remember Mr. K's Math class. He always was a positive influence, I tried to accomplish the task at hand in his class, I wish I could say the same of other class'. I'm glad to see he writes articles in the Mason County Democrat. Yes, I still subscribe to the paper out here in the Evergreen State. Washington is also known as the Land of Great Coffee, although I drink Folgers Chrystals, 3 heavy teaspoons in a 10 oz. cup, 3 cups total each day.
