Be proud of your efforts, we areFocus on the quieter members of our class for a bit...they have so much to offer. But the core group of '79 Exonians is an active, even boisterous (sometimes), group. That's not bad. Even so, it can be difficult for the quieter ones to make a contribution. They might decide it's too hard to be heard and just remain silent. They need to speak up, of course, because we're in deep s**t as a country. But it's important that we ALL participate in making this a better place. Each of us has a unique set of skills and talents. Who knows what we can accomplish if these skills and talents were harnessed for the COMMON GOOD?Be easy on yourselves.
