    Your mid-life crisis

    When I turned 40... I had had long hair for quite a while and wore it in a ponytail. On my fortieth birthday I had it all cut off - by a Penthouse Pet (Miss April, 1990). That one event circumvented any mid-life crisis for the next decade! Now over fifty, it's hitting me; I desperately...

    White Bucks

    I wore white shoes for the longest time (decades!) simply because of the influence of that Canadian voice, Burton Cummings! He always had white shoes on the Guess Who LP covers and I emulated that for years! I met Burt once and had the chance to tell him of his influence. For a good example...

    Personal Libraries

    I have quite a few books, some of which I've had upwards of forty years. I brought many of them from back east in the mid-1970's. What I've discovered after three decades in Arizona is that the dry heat and the moisture robbing air-conditioning wreaks havoc on book bindings, both hardbound...

    Golden Era Cultural Icons

    I think we'd all agree... Howard Robard Hughes was the cultural icon of that era as he touched so many parts of the culture through film and aviation, and eventually science and medicine. HRH was the Sir Richard Branson of his day, or perhaps the Bill Gates. Not just a rich man in a era of...

    Do you collect military medals?

    I've only collected one.... The famed 'Faciat Georgius', the 'George Medal' of Guadalcanal. The besieged Marines on the 'canal dreamed this one up when the felt like the Navy was letting them down and stranding them on shore. It has quite a history. My uncle, Col. Edmund J. Buckley, USMC...
