<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2862358, member: 19463&quot;]It is amazing how different we are and how much the same.&nbsp; My intent was to go to grad school and become FitzNigel (possibly on the college level) but the draft board said I could finish the BA but would go in the Army in June 1968 like it or not.&nbsp; The luck of the draw saw me assigned to something I enjoyed so I stayed 20 years, 3 months and 10 days.&nbsp; Unlike Bing, my enjoyment waned but I had too much invested to quit before I could retire at the earliest opportunity.&nbsp; Like several, I collected modern coins for a while but made the switch to ancients and never looked back. </p><p><br /></p><p>My life and family are simple.&nbsp; I have a 15 y.o. grandson who likes computer programming, a 43 y.o. daughter who teaches first grade, a 103 y.o. mother-in-law who greatly enjoys a daily phone call from my retired librarian wife whose birthday is today.&nbsp; As for our age we will only say that we were both born in the same year as three of the last four Presidents of the US but neither of us would take that job on a bet.&nbsp; We did 19 1/2 years in Washington DC; been there, done that!</p><p><br /></p><p>I forgot to mention that all none of my family understands my interest in coins or history or photography or anything else that defines who I am.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
