Uh oh, I have to wait until next December for "revenge" after Army beat Navy in their classic winter football game.

Now that you're retired, do you have time and an interest in watching "Ancient Aliens" ? And if you still like to play chess, have you checked out Chess.com or Lichess.org (where membership is free). At Chess.com my username is DrCheckmatestein (derived from World Champion Magnus Carlsen using the handle "DrDrunkenstein" on Lichess.org), and at Lichess.org my handle is ShadeOfFischer. Since I'm in a serious relationship (but haven't yet married), I don't get to play much chess nowadays.

I remember the day (although not which year) that Tony started at Orangwood Elementary -- being the first African American student to enroll there. There was some drama. The principal cautioned everyone to "stay calm"! Thank goodness things have improved in our country, but there is still more work that needs to be done to combat racism.

FYI in regards to fellow classmate Herbert F. (Frank) Davisson, I lost touch with him earlier this year after his second stroke. He was in the neuro ICU at St. Joseph's Hospital - now part of the Dignity Health system. If he recovered sufficiently, he would have been transferred into rehabilitative care and then (probably) assisted living. The only sibling I remember from his family was a Debbie Guthrie, who also attended W.H.S. Herbie served in the U.S. Army for 7 years, and saw Ft. Hood, TX, Ft. Lewis, WA, and Ft. Richardson, AK.
