actually while i do not own a gun now, i could shoot quite well back then,
if carrying a gun was what they would want. i would have had no problen
programming a computer with a 45 at my side. yes, they shortchanged
themselves just like state farm insurance company did when they
discriminated against me blantantly. how the hell can one be two short to be
a insurance underwriter. bull s**t! had we had the ADA back then i could
have owned the company.

I agree Ken, and I recall from previous conversations that you have residual
feelings about that incident. In fact, I was thinking about you when I
posted that and I wondered what you would be thinking when you read it.
I feel strongly that the military short changed itself by not taking you, my
friend.
