This is another original 'hair-sceemed idea' and we will see what I \ncan do and what you can tolerate.\n \nHERE GOES !!!\n \nEpisode 1: Origin\n \nI was born on April 7, 1947 at the General Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri \nbut I do NOT know who my real parents were\/are but was adopted by my legal \nparents at the age of 6 months and lived at an appartment located at 1509 \nAdmiral Blvd., Kansas city from then until I was 14 years old. This apartment \nand address no longer exist in that the entire 8 block area surrounding that \naddress was condemmed and leveled and is since that demolition in \napproximately 1967 (6 years after my leaving) has remained a grassy vacant lot \nnear the center of the city.\n \nDuring my growing up the only things that come to mind that are worth \n\nmentioning is my being very much a loner since I had no brothers or sisters and \n\nthis made me very vernable to being beaten up by the bully's of the area and on \n\na couple of occassions being threatened and on one occassion cut with a knife \n\nand to this day I have a strong reaction and in some cases a defense reaction \n\nto a knife being pointed at me.\n \nThe other event that comes to mind is riding my bicycle of an enbankment over \n\nthe freeway, but that deserves an episode of it's owm.\n \nDuring this timeframe I spent what week-end time (sunday) I could (after church \n\nor one sunday per month instead of church) going with my father to fly in his \n\nsmall two passenger airplane. Between the time I was able to reach the controls \n\nwith the help of pillows (7-8 yrs old) and my graduating from high school I \n\nspent over 3000 hours flying time of which almost 1000 hours I had at the \n\ncontrols. This led to an eventful day when I was about 9-10 yrs old which \n\nfrightened me so bad that I didn't fly for a year following it. This story also \n\ndeserves its own episode.\n \nAt the age of 14 my parents bought a house located in the Northeast Section of \n\nKansas City (3216 Roberts) which is a reasonable lower middle income area and \n\nthis is where my mother still lives today. This move was because of the plans \n\nto destroy the apartment building we were in (which didn't happen years to \n\nfollow) and also to guarentee my being able to go to Northeast Jr. and later \n\nNortheast Sr. high school which was esentially all white whereas if I stayed \n\nwhere we were I would have to go to Manual High School which was about 75 \n\nPercent Black\n \nDuring this time frame I discovered girls, started working on a weekly radio \n\nshow, become VERY interested in electronics, and simultanious to my Jr. and Sr. \n\nyears went part-time to the University of Kansas City studying electronics.\n \nAll of these topics deserve there own episodes also.\n \nFollowing graduation from high school I went to K. C. Junior College and worked \n\npart time as a radio announcer.\n \nIn this first year I met Charlet (now my wife), and joined the U. S. Army.\n \nIn the year following that I completed Army Basic Training (boot camp), Went to \n\nan Army Communications School (Ft. Gordon, Ga.) (Graduating with the highest \n\ngrade average of the 2200 students in the school session I was in), I was sent \n\nto Germany to work in Mobile Communications Repair, and on Christmas Eve \n\nMorning (7:30 am, Dec. 24, 1966) was awaken to the news of my Father's death \n\nand returned to the US for his funeral.\n \nFollowing that I was reassigned to Ft. Leavenworth which was about 65 miles \n\nfrom K. C. so I could be with my mother. (Compasionate Reassignment) I lived at \n\nhome and commutted to the post.\n \nDuring this year I married Charlet (Oct. 20, 1967), and upon getting back from \n\nmy honeymoon learned of my orders to Vietnam.\n \nFollowing my \"Special\" Vietnam Training and a 30 day leave I left for Vietnam \n\non a one year assignment (Jan 10, 1968).\n \nI arrived in vietnam during the first week of the \"Tet Offensive\" of 1968 and \n\nthat too is quite an episode to be told!\n \nI worked in Intellegence for about 4 months and then was assigned to a \n\ncommunications facility between the Mekong Delta and Yeu Meng Forest.(the \n\nsouthernmost compound occupied by US Forces - Vi Thanh)\n \nI spent the week of my first wedding anniversary with my wife in Honolulu, Ha. \n\nas my \"R&R\" from Viet Nam (Oct 18-24, 1968) and then returned to Viet Nam for \n\nthe remainder of my tour. \n \nI returned from Viet Nam and was released from active duty on Jan 14, 1969.\n \nI returned to the Radio Station in Kansas City that I was working at upon \n\nentering the Army and became a senior announcer and later the news director of \n\nthe station.\n \nBecause of the time and oppertunity ending I am going to end for now!\n \n(To Be Continued).....\n\n\nMAIL> d\n\n\nMAIL> \n\n #13 16-SEP-1985 13:44:21 MAIL\n\nFrom: BOS1A::CHRISALLEN \"ARTPRO SIG MANAGER\"\nTo: BOS1A::CABUYS\nSubj: \n\nIf we can justify the cost, we would love to promote delphi in any\nJacksonville conventions! \n\nAs far as the GSC&ES shows are converned, I personally have a \nbad taste in my mouth from ACCESS Jacksonville experience.\n\nHope to meet you someday!\n\nChris Allen\n\n\nMAIL> rep\n\nTo: BOS1A::CHRISALLEN,CABUYS \n\nSubj: \n\nEnter your message below.
