Congrats to all with recent grads! I've always felt a little philosphic at HS graduation time. It's a major milestone in an individual's life and it's also like an explosion of sorts. You take a bunch of kids who've probably been together in the same schools, same neighborhoods, same sports teams, hung out together and then, wham, they get flung out near and far in a short period of time. Some go in the military, some to college, some go into the family business, some go into apprenticeships, some wander for a few years until they figure out what they want to be, but for all, it's a major transition. They are now adults. And looking out over the groups in their caps and gowns, I picture them all as race horses straining in the starting gate, just waiting for the bell to ring and to break out into the world on their own track, to make their own mark. As parents, we've nurtured, spanked, lectured, chastised, encouraged, smiled, cried, groaned, etc. as we've raised them and now it's time to give "advice" instead of a lecture when they say "What should I do?" because, ultimately, it's their decision what they make of their life from here on out. Congrats again and good luck to all!

He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
