Still working on that, on the attempts to clear the captain's name in
the late 90s.

I think I was a grade or 2 ahead of my reading after first grade. Don't
know how it was measured in grade school but sophomore year of high
school we (class) took a standardised test and the teachers gave us
results individually. In just about all areas I was reading, etc at a
college level sophomore (highest grading they went). I had unrestricted
library priviledges as a 2nd grader, also took advantage of the town
public library and bookmobile. We didn't get tv until I was in 4th
grade, then only one channel, which probably contributed to reading so
much.

We're going to do another pita based pizza for supper, use up the pitas
and do it on the grill. I like pasta salad but Steve doesn't so will
make some for me if I have to take a meal somewhere (like our now
deceased quilting group). Had a high protein lunch--scrambled eggs with
cut up hot dogs and cheese, sort of an omelette--so supper doesn't need
to have as much protein.
