I got a job in a deli but
I just couldn't cut the mustard.
Then I became a historian,
but there was no future in that.

Gil Cunningham: I didn't remember ever writing that 300C article (1972). Not too bad. It was nice to read it again. Didn't see any mistakes. Whew!
Write us with whatever might be on your mind.
