Ok, Robyn Beth Priestley gave me the number 8: 1. One of my jobs as a high-school junior & senior was driving a school bus. 2. I have a burn mark on my right ankle where I kicked the bulb in the incubator as a newborn. This is probably why I am still sighted, as this was the era of oxygenated incubators causing blindness. 3. I have witnessed a Klan cross-burning. I was 4. 4. I love painting ceramics. Id do it more often if the studios werent so expensive. 5. My eighth-grade history teacher was arrested for protesting the Woolworths lunch counter arrests. She later dated Curly Neal. 6. I have been part of a tenant farmer family & both gathered free-range chicken eggs (back them it was just considered a nuisance that the damn hens wouldnt lay in the coop) and hand-picked cotton (ouch!). 7. A research paper I wrote for SIGUCCS was republished globally via FIDONet, and translated into 11 languages, including Finnish. 8. I was in the Senate Hearing Room the day President Nixons tapes were discovered via testimony.
