Re: Veterans day story
Back when I worked at the LA County shops, I was friends with a deputy sheriff who was 6 years older than I. He grew up in the town of Rogue River, along the 5, and attended Rogue River High School, class of 1966. The grad class was around 65 in number, and over half of the boys either enlisted or were draftees. Half of them never came back. The class reunion 10 years later was a sad experience. He lived there from 1960-66 or so, I lived 30 miles up the river from 62-66. We had a lot of fun experiences. He also had a 69 Z-28 Camaro named Mighty Mouse that he raced at Irwindale in the 70's. It was a pretty serious race car for its time. He sold it before we worked together.
That kind of thing is what devastates a town of any size. Eddie, keep up the outstanding good work.
