    When I was 17..Almost none of you children had been born. I worked all day in a corn field pulling corn for three dollars. I was more than pleased, I felt rich. I took my three bucks and my raw hands, and I hitch hiked thirty miles or so and went to a movie. A typical movie I saw at the time was about Glen Miller(is that right?) Who did that Pennsylvania 6-5000 thing? Yup, Glen Miller. I was at my romantic, sexy peak at the time, and the movie had just come out. I was torn at the time..Between staying at the theater after the movie and making cookies with the cashier or leaving with a hot blond gal and necking in her room while her parents were gone and watching George Goebel on TV. I made the wrong choice. I meant well, but I was excited by the interest in me by two different girls, and one of them was more popular than the other. I chose popular over closeness and comfort. I wish I could go back and get another shot at that, but it's long gone and I have neither.

    I had a 3.7 GPA, a few pimples, no girl friend and had the entire world all figured out.

    17 in '79....

    Columbia's best roll-ur-own "tobacco" was $25/oz[;)]

    Cocaine cowboys and Mariel refugees everywhere.

    We had the highest murder rate in the nation.

    No MADD...drinking age was 18...if you looked 15 you were good to go.

    Disco was on it's dying days.

    Peanut brain Carter was in the Oval office...

    My first car had a 383ci...got like 6mpg...didn't care, gas was cheap...and full of lead, too!

    AIDS was only a diet pill.

    Lots of great hunting, swamp buggying, air boating, shooting, and ATC riding in the Everglades.

    No mortgage, no bills, no worries, no responsibilities...just school.

    I thought I "knew it all"...how wrong I was.

    Oh, to be 17 again..

    According to my folks I never hit
    17, went from 13 to 21 over nite.
    That was back in '53-'61 When you
    could buy cig's in Arkansas from a
    machine with 2 dimes get a pack of
    Phillip Morris with a penny in the
    wrapper and a book of paper match's.
    The good old days!
