I checked out 181 pages for Michigan. If you were born in 1948 there is a good chance you would die in 1969. Having matched those numbers, it makes me feel lucky to be alive.

Thanks Carlie for the post.

Great info, Carlie.

December, 1989. Area of Burlington, Vermont.

I'm a city phone tech, but ended up doing pole-climbing work in sub-zero, rural Vermont.

Finding addresses was difficult due to lack of street signs and numbers; people would say "Go to the row of 8 mailboxes where the middle one is painted orange. Turn left where the old Ford truck is up on blocks...etc"

Down a snowy farm road I was surprised to see a handmade sign so took a closer look.

It read, "Dedicated to (soldier's name) KIA Vietnam (Date) '"

The cost of war had been felt in this beautiful, little community.

Still brings tears to my eyes.
