[AGL] looking for a MS Word guru

[Charles Loving]

My mother was French Swiss and I went to grade school in Switzerland. They
taught Latin and German in the second grade. My father flew B-17s and was a
POW with Harvey Gann for 24 months. I was born in Hendon and then went to
France after the war ended and then to Germany and Switzerland. Cmae to
Texas in 1952 or there about. A real downer in the school realm. No more
gymnastics, no more Latin, German, or Algebra.
