how did we let things get this way

Dean, the times I was discussing were before I got my first job with my Uncle. I was in the bitter end of high school and the first part of college, 1964 to 1968 or so. My uncle called me in the last part of 1967 and I never hunted birds in Southern Maryland again.

That is sad. It sounds like a wonderful place to hunt quail.

Dean, this was the time of the "lottery". I can't even remember whether a 2-S trumped a low lottery number. However, it didn't make a lot of difference. When they told me I would be going "some day", I foolishly asked, "How about today?" They were quite agreeable.
