This is the only High School graduation photo I have, so please bear/bare with me.

Timmy & I were talking poolside about kids entering 1st grade, pre-school or whatever. Is it about age or maturity? How do you judge maturity? That got me to thinking...

• I had just turned 18 when I graduated High School (born 5/31/46, grad 6/09/64)
• John was born 11/43 & graduated HS 6/11/61...he was 17!
• Alyce was born 9/22/42 & graduated 6/07/60...she was 17!

Am I right here? Did our parents just want us out of the house? or were they considering our development & maturity? I'm sure they thought long & hard about it...since 1st grade was Free...
