Su Meck doesn’t add up 1988 + 22 =2010 .Was she was hit before she was born?
Tricorvus about 13 years ago
OK, 1988 was 23 years ago to start with. She was obviously 22 IN 1988. Then had this tragedy, and arose from it like a Phoenix. Go Su! :D

A degree never did me any good. In fact, not a single employer I ever applied with even asked to see it! It’s experience they want!

Disneyland, California. Only time iI"ve been to California – was just a few days BEFORE Disneyland OPENED! Did get to the park near San Jose (Santa Cruz?) Dad and I tried the roller coaster. When we got off, he said “Enough of that!” (We later were told that a few days before, a sailor tried to stand up on it and got thrown off!)
