Guest guest Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 And what might they have found had they? You see? It's simply a matter of stubborn inarticulate stand-offishness and so be it. No one is much interested anyway. And never presume an asker of questions has not enountered many, many answers already.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 If you choose to see me as inarticulate, so be it...........it has been 20 years since I have been in school. But I am in *no* way stand-offish.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 I found your repeated comments re: Quakers to be both very interesting and quite articulate. As strange as this might sound, I served in Vietnam with a Quaker. Only those Marines closest to John ever knew because he had nothing to prove about his beliefs and neither do you!! Pixx, after knowing Lance Corporal John Hanson, may he rest in peace, I'm proud to call every Quaker my friend. DaveO Pixx [lists] If you choose to see me as inarticulate, so be it...........it has been 20 years since I have been in school. But I am in *no* way stand-offish.
