Did not get married til i was 20, then I married a gal that was 17,the school bus pikt her up at our cute red and white trailer til she graduated mid term,,.back in the mid 70s you could graduate with only 34 credits , my wife had 37 ,, I had 36,,i had one half day of school per week in my senior yr ,the class was based on Leadership , American problems ,and social concerns,.it was in its 2nd experimental year . , mostly just to log what i had done while working outside building homes for a contractor ..I wisht I had kept my folder and notes , because the teacher , who was studying to be clinical psychologist encouraged us to write about challenges , dreams , difficult situations that mite had been handled differently , and generally helped the 10 or so in the class how to tap the inner self desires and make goals .we really had some good discussions that flirted with the spiritual side and bible teaching,,.it was the 1st time I ever heard AS IRON SHARPENS IRON SO WE SHARPEN OUR FELLOW MAN .it seems funny to say this .but I feel I got more education in that half day weekly class. than I got out of all my hi school years . I got recommended for the class by my vocational school teachers I had . previously as a junior,.. I enrolled in vocational school , building trades ,,. we actually built 2 houses that yr ,,.I made class supervisor early on ,,, no one else wanted the responsibility , and since I knew one of the teachers well , he told me I could do the job and do well ,the 2 teacher were a good commonsense team , that allowed supervisors to drive to the job and leave from the job without checking in at the school,.i was in charge of roll call ,and was always 1st on site 10 minutes before the work bus got there . and since I had the keys would have stuff unlocked and unchained and ready to go ,,.sometimes , I could wiggle out of there early to go help plant and harvest . i got a unwritten diploma from HARD KNOX college ..I think the finest compliment one mite get from the yuppi world is when they ask ,,'JIM . where did you go to college...i fielded that question a few times as a home improvement contractor ,,. then later as a COUNTY COMMISSIONER ,.and most recently last week from my cancer doctor,.although one could say that my typing and spelling skills mite be poor , one can easily see i take shortcuts in spelling . although , things mite have gone much differently had i gone to engineering school at purdue as was suggested by my guidance counselor in my sophomore and junior yr. .... i don't think i would had been able to live life to the fullest ,,.the reasons were plenty not to go to college ,.,. namely a drop dead gorgous country girl, a good job , 350 hogs on a new 5 yr old confinement floor that i owned in partnership with my dad , he simply could not take care of if i left ,,a new f-150 pikup. a nice mercury convertible ,. and a fun street and trail bike ,tractors ,all debt free .... hog prices were darn good ,i could have all the nail driving i wanted,when i wanted it ,,. and my older brother and i entered negotiations for the neighbor s farm below my parents farm,. the girl friend told me if i chose college , to not expect her to wait for me, WHATTT !!??,,. "AHHH C"Mon Dianna ",.that comment was a omen .we would divorce in 1996,,. the guy that owned the farm we were trying ton make a deal on , got sick and died .. and his kids could only talk big money.. such is life ,,.. .
