Surviving

Eight years ago, or thereabouts, Pete Sorenson rounded up the Armed Guard veterans he could find in this corner of Southern California and got them together for lunch. There were two dozen of us, and over the years we turned out on the second Saturday of every month. Our number has dwindled. Ten turned up yesterday (not including me; I don't trust myself to drive in the rain). We're all a little grayer, a little less sure of foot. We swap sea stories and, like old people everywhere, discuss our infirmities. -- Fran
