Went in the Navy and then to IUSB (was student body prez while there). Also went to IU-Bloomington and IPFW. My family on my dad's side were all prominent South Bend athletics. Went to Adams, Mishawaka and then Penn. While in college, I was a sports reporter for the South Bend Tribune. My mother still lives there.Les Edgertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17997858985904932554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918800617954487311.post-50307209267290410072010-08-08T08:45:23.262-07:002010-08-08T08:45:23.262-07:00Great post, Les!!

Most weekends, my wife and I are forced to just play "family games" for relaxation, like "Escaped Convict meets Warden's Daughter" or "Coed on Way to Panama City is Pulled over by Studly Cop" or "Nurse Meets Patient Scheduled for Penis Reduction Surgery." Of course, every Friday is reserved for when I shave my wife's back. We make it as romantic as possible. Lots of candles, Hostess Ho-Hos for break treats, mood music. And, I try to be considerate and have plenty of brand-new Bic razors so they don't pull and I always warm up the shaving cream...<br /><br />It's either do those things or watch TV. Have you seen what's on TV these days? Yuch!Les Edgertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17997858985904932554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918800617954487311.post-597518487326231992010-07-28T23:11:59.325-07:002010-07-28T23:11:59.325-07:00Ha ha ha!

I got snow blindness...<br /><br />The good thing about Ft.
