Thanks for the flowers, but the net in general hasn't heard more than 5% of my BTDT's. If I live long enough you'll probably read more. They are the education of Gene, who in the official record has an 8th grade education dated in the 1940's. 3rd time married 31 years in about a month, to a lady thats about done now, and has a B of A in music education, she wanted me to at least get a GED so I took it about 25 years ago. Didn't hear by the time I should have, so since the test givers $DayJob was at the P.O. I went in to check on it, and his question to me was "Why are you worried about it, you were just doing it for the exercise, weren't you?" I had to say yes. I did get it about a week later. I also have a degree from the University of Hard Knocks. One of the rules for that is that you can say you've made it on a high school education or less. More disqualifies you. And your claim to have made it must be proved by a $100 donation to the student loan fund at Alderson-Broaddus University in Philippi WV where Dee got her Music diploma from. And of coarse $35 a head for the graduation dinner and dance. I quit school in '48 to go fix what were then these new-fangled things called "tv's". There's a hell of a lot of history between then and now. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
