50's Grew up in West Virginia, father a coal miner, mother a home maker. Telephones were on a party line. TV we had three channels. Teachers were good. Professional sports were good.
60's Graduated from High School. Kennedy assassinated. Went to WVU for two years and joined the Navy, four years at sea. Viet Nam consumed the news, the protests began. Kent State.
70's Honorable discharge. Bought first car. In New England. Went to work for defense contractor. Went back to school nights. Short skirts and high heels, hot pants. Bought first house. Movie Jaws a big hit.
80's West coast for graduate degrees. Moved around a lot.
90's Moved around a lot.
00's Retired at age 62.
Content overall but most content in the 50's and 60's and since retiring. Bottom line, work sucks.
