Today at RMHS I met a delightful junior. He loves the peace buttons. I told him the artist had graduated from RMHS. He came back later, ready to buy all the buttons for $1. I told him he could have another but we don't sell them. He is into peace and color, he says. I told him the button artist is a tatoo artist. That's what this young man wants to be, he told me. I think he ended up with 4 or 5 peace buttons with my approval.
Then another young man came by -- didn't get his name -- he's been here before. He's a marksman and shoots competitively. Said he had gone to an Olympic shooting range in Colorado Springs, wants to compete in the Olympics. I never pay attention to sports; didn't know the Olympics included marksmanship. Do they? (Both of my much older brothers studied marksmanship and gun safety with the NRA back in the 1950's). This young man is a member of the NRA.
A bunch of young women came by. All thought women should be required to register with the Selective Service. One young woman agreed with that but said we should not have the Selective Service. She left before I could get her to say more.
