8/8 Jack O’Neill hosted by Jim

In the school year '55/'56, I attended kindergartens in Berkeley, Chula Vista, and San Diego, CA.  One through eight I attended Catholic schools in Honolulu, HI, Takoma Park, MD, and San Francisco, CA.  And three high schools in northern Illinois.  At my fourth college, somewhat near graduation and looking ahead, realizing I was more suited to a random sort of life; I shifted into shiftlessness and the rewards thereof, finding a kind of stability there.
