1997..........I was in my mid 40's, had been married for 24 years (and still going!!). I had moved into the "country" 12 years earlier, to start a farm from city life upbringings. We were heavy in 4H...... Club Advisors, County Livestock Judging Team Advisors (I was learning too), my son had the Grand Champion Hog that year at our County Fair.
I was still 2 years away from getting my Gold Watch for 25 years of service to my public employer...so, you're almost there Neal!!
Thanks for the website and your commitment to being a Submarine "junky" like the rest of us!
