      Me too. Sept 8, 1952.

      Sept. 18th for me, Mark, so you are quite a bit older. :biggrin: And I am originally from Pa. also. Grew up in Mt. Carmel, near the home of Yuengling beer in Pottsville.

      I always said when I was 30 I said to myself I will worry about it when I'am forty, when I turned 40, I said what the heck, worry about it when I turn 50. What should I worry about now 60? I don't feel no different now than when I was 49. 1963 by the way.

      I was born in 1957 and I am not too pleased with the world as it is today. The days of my past mid 60's and through the 70's were so much more pleasant.

      Well 1953 for me. I've seen and heard a lot of things over the years. I'm planning to be around a while longer. No retirement for me!

      June 1969, The Summer of Love!

      '67 was the "Summer of Love", so you missed by a couple years. Par for your course.

      Thanks for the history lesson. However. I'm confused, I thought the WW2 ended in 45, so what took them so long to come up with a peace treaty, or does it always take that long after a war ends?
