I returned to my old Alma Mater,Randolph-Macon Academy,in Front Royal,Virginia.I had a terrific time chatting up old chums,especially Susan and Dan Fines.Dan got in funny digs on me with Groucho Marx like speed.I tried to match his chop-busting repartee,but he took the day.I unloaded 23 copies of "Mango Lassie",mostly to my pals.Too many of our friends have died."Where have all the
flowers gone,long time passing?" R-MA is a terrific school which
afforded me a first-rate education.I sat by myself in the gym where
I'd wrestled and played "shirts and skins".Then I walked the track
where I'd anchored the mile relay team.That gave me goosebumps.
A shout out to our military,especially B-52 pilot R.G.McManus,and
General David Puster.R-MA cadets par excellence.
