[AGL] Marriage and LA in 69?

[Jon Ford]

Michele-- The '71 quake! I watched it on TV in Berkeley with my friends 
Michael Waddell and Reese VAughn. I remember us talking about how we were 
"sure glad not to be in LA right now!" Have to admit I still feel the same 
way. I'm doing OK right now-- happy to be retired, still married, with a 
nice grandson who lives just a few blocks away and talks in complete 
sentences at the age of 2 and a half.

Jon
