Geez,, 73...I've got underwear older than that!.
Only kidding.... don't know if I am the oldest (in age) here but will be 95 12/31.
Don't feel it and they tell me I don't look it.
The secret, be positive, one day at a time and a lot of luck.
The luck was in WW2 when I went through the battle of Okinawa as a marine. Got hit with a japanese
hand grenade, left shoulder, had a corpsman dig out what he could and continued on to the end.
Tutned down the Purple Heart as I thought i didn't deserve it.
Hope I didn't bore too many of you.

Bob,

Thank you for serving!

Appreciate what everyone did and must have gone through during WW2.

Find out and steal it!

Back in the day the Gameboy was huge. Third biggest selling game system of all time with 118 million units. Hillary had one of those units. Look!

Cameron Diaz! Look!

Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans from Avengers! Everyone loves Gameboy even today! Look!

I'm going to attempt the world record for Tetris after beating my previous high score just now. I'm motivated!
World record is 441 lines and 748,757 points.
I just did 101 lines and 36,890 points. Almost there!

If you don't mind me asking, where in SE Missouri are you located?

I'm 3 miles outside of Fredericktown. About 50 miles due west of Cape Girardeau, or 90 miles south of St Louis...

Thank you for the birthday wish..

Dan

Bob,

Thank you very much Bob. God bless you man, and thank you for your service to our country.
I recall my fathers stories of his years in the Army. He served 6 years. As an Army corporal he was assigned to a Navy ship that was part of a fleet that was sent to clean out the Aleutian Islands in the "Battle of the Aleutians". One of his duties on the ship was a deck gunner as they went from island to island. He was wounded while manning the gun. A piece of shrapnel went thru his hand. Another of his duties was as an MP. Those were the days when men were men and did what had to be done to protect the country and the world. The younger society today has no idea what you men went through. It was very troubled times and so many of us are truly grateful for your service. Dad left my mother waiting for him until he completed his service, and they married as soon as he got back home, 6 years later. He passed about 23 years ago. If he were still alive, he would be around your age. My mother is still alive, and she's 97. I was a baby boomer.

Mom and dad are the 2 in the middle.

Was just wondering. Once a year (but not this year) my son and I meet up with male family members from Ohio for 3 days of golf at Kentucky Lake. We pass south of you on 60. Small world.
