in '76 I had just graduated from HS a couple years earlier and was working & going to college at nights. I remember my father pointing to an ad in some magazine for BC and I believe I sent for more information. But alas, I op'd to keep working and missed the chance to go. Young and stupid I guess, I saw $$$ as more important. My father, having more years & insight, knew what was more important. Should have listen to what he was saying. That's why now I encourage my kids to go do things before they are neck deep responsibilities.
