I was born in Boston, and at 13 we moved to Southern California. Everyone in high school talked like hicks, and in a few months so did I. When I'm with cousins in Mass. I catch myself talking like them.
21 years old recently discharged from the USN working in Covina Ca. as an apprentice carpet installer. Heard the news on the truck radio, and was glued to the TV when I got home. I also remember seeing Ruby shoot LHO.
