It's strange to think that even here the summers seem so short and the

The coldest day of my life was a bright, sunny January day in 1970 in
Grand Rapids, Michigan. The wind coming off the lake was just brutal.
Don't know what the temp was.

Second coldest, at least in feeling cold, was a February day in 1990,
getting off the plane in Thunder Bay, Ontario. I was told it was 20
below zero, Fahrenheit, and that if you peed outdoors, it would freeze
before it hit the ground.

The coldest two winters of my life were spent at Great Lakes Naval
Training Center.

By the way, a belated Happy Veterans Day to you.
