Ye of unknown gender, age, or sexual orientation. (but not political...we know you are a John Birch warmonger)
Yes, 23 or 24 was EXACTLY (one of you favorite words) the age of guys my age drafted who went to college and got teaching deferments as did I until the lottery, which was in December (I am pretty sure, but if it was November, then you can attack me on this too). My date of birth, July 8, came up as number 13. So now you can do your super sleuthing again, because I have no idea how to prove this or disprove this. Either my DOB (well I could scan my birth certificate, but you would just say it is abirth certificate) or find the dates of the lottery drawings, which I hope have faded into dust. But knowing you, you will peruse the internet and find out. I don't have the time or inclination. I KNOW what my lottery number was!
edit: it was easy..went to Google and the very first try yielded the following:http://www.landscaper.net/draft.htm#How's%20your%20"Luck%20of%20the%20Draw"? And I was right. It was December. 12/01/69 ...whew...made it by one day!!!
I feel so redeemed!!!!! Having seen the numbers on that site, I wish I had been born one day later: #277. My life would have been entirely different. Better? Worse? Who is to say?.. But one thing would have been better for sure. You would not have been a part of it!
