Fall 2009 - The days are getting shorter and I'm just getting used to the school busses being on the road again in the morning. The trees are showing their bright colors and football is back on TV. I guess Fall is here.

The same thought may have occurred to some of you that came to me recently - it was 40 years ago that we started high school. That's right, we were those bothersome little runny-nose Freshmen in 1969. We were feeling pretty good about ourselves having finally made it to the 'big house'. The impact of the moon landing over the summer was lost on most of us. In the Fall of 1969 we had the Chicago Eight trials, the Draft started, Brett Favre and Nancy Kerrigan were born, and Kenya Ken was teaching History.
