It was formerly Armistice Day, cebrating the end of WW-I, on Nov. 11. 1918. About 30 years ago the holiday (in America) was changed to a Monday in
October (making a short trip to Baja possible). What I don't know is who changed it back to Nov. 11... ?

Armistice day.........
As I recall (from my history lessons) Nov. 11 was the date of the cessation of WW1 hostilities. Not sure, the year 1918?

Are you criticizing the poll or supporting it? Hard to tell.

Oooops, I forgot about that. You are absolutely right Debra, I kinda wish I had kept that under wraps, but it's out in the open now .
Sorry msawin, I confess to being 63 as Debra said.

When someone reaches the age of 63
and carries it as you do, you brag about it, not hide it!

age not the issue
Ken,
I think that you posted your age in the Amigos posting, and I have to tell you that I really think that age isn't a concern really, but I am
impressed with the attitude of younger folks and am in the in deep respect of elders that take the time to share thier thoughts with us. Last year I
had some question on diving equipment that you gave me insight to that helped me with my purchases .. and, that I think that is what the is about..
People with experience, sharring... Thanks to all of you for your posts.. That is what amigos was about..
