Don't have them from high school but I have them from the 90's... and yes I still have female friends from right after HS.

    The calendars, and his reasoning for them strikes me as completely legit. So legit that he Dems didn't even have the balls to question their legitimacy.

    I worked once with a much older guy that had kept them most of his life, he tried to get me started....NO WAY ! it would have been suicide for me [:D], reading his was interesting though, but unlike me he was squeaky clean.

    Nope!

    As I told my troops, way back when - "Never provide the evidence against you at your court martial".

    Best I could do is look at my Service record and I could tell you where I was and what Unit is was. Other than That No.

    Don't know about keeping old calendars, but my late great uncle kept phone books from my home town that dated back to nearly the invention of the phone!

    When he passed back in the mid 80's, the cousin that inherited his house was about to toss all of the phone books in the dumpster. A neighbor just happened to catch him before they were junked and asked if he could have them. They ended up being donated to our towns library. There is a lot of history in phone books. Early businesses and where they were located, along with all of the individual citizens.

    No. Anything in writing would have been incriminating or a divorce lawyers dream come true. Can't think of one thing that would have made a positive difference in my life if I'd kept a Calendar.

    In Jr. High I made a list of my friends and their phone numbers. I kept that lil book until about 6 months ago when I was cleaning some stuff out. Can't count how many moves that thing has survived. I still have one other that was from my freshman year in HS.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    I have the one that was in my grandparents general store hanging in the entryway of my house. The batteries were still inside it but were in VERY bad shape.
