4 years at Westtown - hundreds of stories - small & big - maybe mostly memories & most about the people - some about personal experiences - grieve the loss of friends - love going to reunions - find I can talk to those we hardly knew - and always just start up with anyone where we left off years ago without missing a beat - I, for one, needed the experience after my father dies when I was 11 - influential people - kids - Quaker life style - went to Westtown west (Earlham) - and basically have done ok - thank to everyone who touched my life

Alternative service was in the Phila. Health Dept 2.5 years - then Washington DC as a Public Health, adviser with CDC - in communicable disease ( VD - TB - Smallpox - TB ..._)
Basically the Upper Darby draft board was not sympathetic to COs and after doing 2.5 years in Phila. they said I had to do it "away from "home" and minimal pay - so I went to Washington DC for 2 more years
