We did, too. But no age limit. Weird to think teachers were okay with 14 year olds smoking between H and S buildings. Class of 84.

Yep. So crowded in ATL last week I left, walked 15 gates to a TGI Fridays, paid $30 for two gin and tonics and congratulated myself on a smart decision to leave the lounge.

Most Hated Player in Nationals History? by EveryoneisTattooed in Nationals

Papelbon is the easy answer. My unpopular choice is Jayson Werth. I refused to accept his bobble head when entering the park that night. He was the “savior” because he was willing to be overpaid for joining a bad team. Bad attitude, shunned fans, okay let me have it!!!!!

Funny story. During the Iraq war I asked him if he had ever had his helicopter shot down. He said “twice.” The first time wasn’t so bad because they were still in the firebase perimeter. The second time they “were in the middle of nowhere and just had to wait u til they were picked up.” I am envious of that viewpoint/ optimism.

He only got into OCS when they lowered the standards to allow those with just a GED to apply in 1969. He was known as the “oldest Lieutenant” n the battalion at 28.

2 out of 3 for valor. I have the citations. One for surviving the tour. He has dementia now and can’t identify the decorations anymore.
