Reflections on the date of January 1, 1976 It’s a quiet, cold and bright New Year’s Day today. I’ve been busy but this morning I have the chance to breathe and reflect on a thought that flashed in my mind as the day approached. One quarter of the 21st century is now complete, a fact…

Reflections on the time around December 21, 1975 We are just back from a nice family getaway to celebrate the holidays.

Reflections on the time around October 26, 1975 Hey ’30! How are you today? I’m feeling fine. Tomorrow, I’ll be 67 years old. Just back from a nice family getaway. On the drive home, my mind turned to how things looked on my 17th birthday and why did I even go to the Coast Guard…

Reflections on the time around October 16, 1975 Dear ’30, If you’re still reading, thank you. I appreciate you. Maybe you want to know who I am? Good question. I’m still trying to figure that out. But I’m closer to the answer than I was when I arrived in New London in June 1976. Meet…
