VIC, you said
"I graduated from high school in 76 and definitely can relate to the first one. We used to shoot gophers out behind the school after class. The one-armed principal was a crack shot".
I graduated in 1976 and in grade school I had a one-armed principal too! Now, how weird is that???

I don't know. Maybe it was the GI bill. Our principal was Syrian second generation American WWII vet who lost his arm in the war. He stood about 6'4". Nobody messed with him.
